It seems manufacturers rarely will indicate that clearly.

I could find mention of this model name only once, and it was listed
as being a Winmodem. Model number 2770, to be specific. If your
modem is a different model, goto:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/20000412a.html
and do a search on the model number of your modem.
However, you mention playing with jumpers. Does that card actually
have jumpers on it? If so, then it is probably (but *not* necessarily)
a "real" modem. And if that is the case, then there might be some
jumper configuration needed.
