No. It just that the easiest modems for Linux are "controller
based". Some internals are. Most are not. All external _serial_
modems are controlled based. Not all of the USB extern
Wonko already has something on the way. Thanks anyway.

They work. Been there, done that. Just need the right drivers (LinModem).

I use a Supra FAXModem 288. It always works, and where
we live it's never been able to train up higher than about
20 kbits or so anyway. When the wireless goes down that's
what I use to continue to be able to participate here.
Fortunately that's not too often. (

If they are "WinModems" AFAIK they won't work with *nix.
Find a used external modem on eBay or at a computer surplus place. I'd
guess they could be had for next to nothing these days.
