Hi there -- I'm getting ready to assemble a computer, and intend to use Debian Linux as the OS. In addition to everything else I want to have a 56k modem for the computer -- partially as an emergency backup for the network, but mainly so that I can run a fax and answering machine app on the computer and get rid of my extremely low-quality answering machine.
>From what I've seen out there, the US Robotics USR5637 looks like a promising option: it's a small (almost tiny) external modem which connects via USB, and purports to have Linux support. My question: has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with this component on a Debian system? Thanks in advance, -PT
