I have used SpeedCom external modems in the past. They have worked fine with linux. I have often seen them rebadged and sold by other brands as rural modems. I searched the telepermit site and it returned the following info regarding my modem; Telepermit Number 211/98/009 Telepermit Holder Golden Leaf International Ltd Product Name SpeedCom+ VD56SP External data/fax/voice modem Manufacturer "Pro-nets Technology Group, Taiwan" Model no. VD56SP External data/fax/voice modem Comment V.34/k56 flex 56k bps external voice /data/fax modem Cheers Ross Drummond
