Bullshit. The important question is: does the modem use a real hardware port, or is the port emulated by a special windows driver? Look in device manager in the same where COM and LPT ports are. If you can find a COM3 there (maybe, some windrivers emulate good), look at its properties. If it is using default IO and IRQ settings (IRQ=4, IO=2e8 or 3e8), then you are lucky, otherwise it is only a software-emulated interface and you are out of luck. > This modem is plugged into one of the PCI expansion slots (as mentioned in > the snippet above). IMHO >>90% of this PCI cards - don't provide a hardware interface and depend on drivers (some of this may be accessed using propritary drivers, see www.linmodems.org) - or even does not have important thinks like a signal processor (so they are even not real MoDems since they cannot Mo/Demodulate without software hacks), so all the signal calculations must be done by the driver (complicated to develop, in most cases only drivers for Win-9x). > Is it possible that my vendor didn't provide me with that V.90 modem?

If the vendor told you that _this_ modem is compatible with everything without restrictions, bring this piece back and he must replace it with a real modem. But if he said something like "works perfectly with every Windows application", better sell this thing to a windows user and by a real modem with this money. They often external, better take one for the seriall port - USB things may work, but there are still many troublemaker. > (b'cos I can see it on the PCI slot) I would like to know if this modem will > work with Linux.
