hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I think someone forgot to tell that to my 3Com
USRobotics 56K ISA modem. It runs beautifully in both Winblows and
Linux. In fact, Linux is the very reason I bought this particular
model. Because I knew that since it was a REAL hardware modem it would
work just fine in Linux. And it does. I haven't had a lick of trouble with
it in either Redhat 6.1, 6.2 and Linux Mandrake 7.0 and 7.1. Runs great in
all of them. Now, on the other hand if someone were to ask me to use a PCI
device I would get sick all over the place.
