hy!
any "non-winmodem"(=every external modem) with a serial connector is
easy to use with any linux (with any os)!
with usb modems i dont know.
external serial modems never need any software, they are
all accessible via "hayes"-codes i.e. "atz" means reset, "atdt 02020" means
dial tone 02020, what makes the modem dial the number 02020.
the only difference in setup between different external-serial modems is the
different init-string the modem need. nowadays a simple "atz" should work
fine for every modem.
consider cable or t1, 56k is very slow.

mp
