I think you can find stuff with Google, for some WinModems, to get them to work on Linux.. As other posters pointed out, these are not true modems and normally require MS Windows to work. Inexpensive junk, installed into new low end boxes for end users. As another poster pointed out, an External Serial Modem will do the trick for you. I believe *any* External Serial Modem will work on Linux, but, I'm not positive of that. Lanny
