Last time I checked, CompUSA was considered a US retailer. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?pfp=BROWSE&N=200052+400118&Ne=400000&product_code=289301&Pn=56K_V_92_Performance_Pro_Modem This is a PCI faxmodem with controller, that looks like a UART to Linux. Works great with Linux, with no extra drivers needed. I've used it myself for a few years now, in a fax server with HylaFAX. -- Kevin
