Hi Gordon...Get rid of the WinModem. It won't work with Linux (unless
you're a device level coder and want to prove us all wrong!!) at the moment.
I got an external modem for $50 and it is plenty feature rich that it gets
done what I paid for: get to the internet and e-mail (and the occasional ftp
and telnet connection).
Best of Luck!
