Just visited: http://lhd.datapower.com/db/searchproduct.cgi?_catid=11
to learn if my recently acquired Viking 56K Internal Modem (the real thing,
not a win-modem) is Linux compatible.

Found a listing for a "Viking External Windows 56K Fax Rockwell" with
a rating of "5.0", which appears to be the best rating.

I found no reference to their Internal 56k Modem and Linux ... is it
reasonable
to assume compatibility or shall I just stuff one in the box and "smoke
test" it?

Note:  This modem is selling for $29.99 locally, thus my interest in Linux
compatibility.

Thanks!  Doc

FYI - I also found this interesting bit of Linux-related text:

"Which modems will not work with Linux? (Ref. #001116-0005)"

"Win or Windows Modems
  PCI Modems often don't work
  Mwave and DSP Modems might work, but only if you first start Windows/DOS
    each time you power on your PC
  Modems with RPI (Rockwell) drivers work but with reduced performance."
