I have also used a lucent winmodem that came installed on my HP (after a lightening strike fried my external D-Link). It works well EXCEPT there is some conflict between the modem and the serial port that I have not sorted out. Serial port works fine if used befoe the modem. After modem use, any attempt to use the serial port freezes the system tight.
