It does appear to be a hardware modem. Check any and all floppies and CDs for Linux drivers - Linux is explicitly supported on the web site, but doesn't give any easy to download the drivers :( Contact their tech support. Be prepared to upgrade your installation of Debian (particularly the kernel you have installed). Debian 2.1 (which I assume you have installed) is dead ancient, and doesn't support many pieces of common hardware (such as PCI modems). > > According to the USRobitics web site, this is a PCI modem device; are you > > able to open the case on your computer to verify that? > > Yes it is a PCI modem, I am sure of this. > > > The contents of the file /proc/pci will also tell us if this is a PCI > > modem. > > I don't really understand output, but typing by hand what seems > to be relevant: > > PCI devices found: > Bus 0, device 11, function 0: > Serial controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1). > Vendor id=12b9.
