So do I. From /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 16, function 0:
Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics WinModem 56k (rev 1).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. No bursts. Min Gnt=252.Max Lat=14.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf3ffdc00 [0xf3ffdcff].
I/O at 0xdcd8 [0xdcdf].
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd4ff].
But I have found that the winmodem has drivers from Lucent that "work".
Note the quotation marks around the word "work" - I have had frequent
oops'es with them, especially when attempting to use infrared
afterwards, and I have my suspicions about what those drivers do to the
sound card. Or perhaps it is because of suspend/resume. Whatever the
reason, *not* using the winmodem drivers has made my system rock stable.
If you google on "lucent winmodem drivers ltmodem", you should find
quite a few references.

AOL. So that's 60 euros in total...
