I must have missed the original post from Luis. The USR Performance
Pro modem is a real 56K, pci modem that can be used with linux, dos, etc.
After installing the modem, configure it like this:
1. Boot the machine and use 'lspci -v' to find the IRQ and I/O address assigned to the
modem at startup. I believe these values do not change unless
you move the card to a different slot or change the number of pci cards in the
machine.
2. Use 'setserial' and the info gathered in step 1 to add a serial port.
setserial port 0x03f8 irq 9 uart 16550A /dev/ttyS3
3. Optionally, link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS3. 'ln -s /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem'
4. You should be able to access the modem now as /dev/modem. If it
works, add the setserial command you used to rc.local or to rc.serial
and make sure that it's called during the boot sequence.
I just installed two of these in a machine recently. It was rather
painless.
