Worse, the good history of ltmodem chips has ended. Current versions (last 2 years?), with Agere xyz (will look it up) chips are totally unsupported with no fix in sight. The Agere 1648C chip based cards are fine. Run the scanModem script[1] to find out which is right, and which is dead[2]. I guess with everyone moving to adsl, Agere no longer sees any need to supply a driver. That leaves Intel536/537 (which did not havecontinuous support either) and slmodem chips (use scanModem!).
