>(rule of thumb) If it's external, it'll work,
There are a few things to watch out for. There was
the guy tring to get a 14400 external modem to work
that had the serial line speed set to 115000. The
modem would talk no faster than 56k. Also if you have
a 16450 uart you can't usually go faster than 56k. So
you might have to watch what uart speed you specify.
>(rule of thumb) If it's ISA with jumpers, it'll work,
NOT always true. I have seen winmodems with
jumpers!!!!
>(rule of thumb) If it's PCI, it won't work,
Not always true. There are one or two PCI modems that
work. The ones that are NOT memory mapped MIGHT work.
