Most cheap modems are  winmodems. These are modems that offload a lot of the 
signal processing from hardware into drivers.  The drivers are typically 
windows only, hence the name winmodems.

I understand there has been a lot of progress in making winmodems work under 
Linux (see http://linmodems.org ), but things are a lot easier if you use a 
proper hardware modem.

Drivers Hardware

[Juan Palacios]

Hello guys,

 Just wondering, my name is Juan, if this
operating system installs modem, video, and sound card
drivers automatically? Such as my 56k modem isa card,
ect. Which linux or unix free os is best for
installing drivers automatically, wheter they are
called drivers or not. I've heard of so many os'es
based on linux. Specially on EBAY. PROTOSOFT, UBISO,
DEBIAR, FREEBSD, and the list goes on and on. I just
need an os that i install and the drivers are up and
running. Specially the modem cards. Windows XP detects
all this automatically. Also is there a website where
u can get all the drivers for linux? Such as
www.driverguide.com ? Other websites for linux
drivers? Or a website to compare linux oses. I just
wanna know which linux os installs the pci, isa cards
automatically like my sound, video, modem, ect. I
bought LINSPIRE and it installed everything except
modem, tried over 3 modems and NOTHING. Anyhow I hope
I can get help from u knowledgeable guys.

Juan.
