wherever you heard that should be dismissed for lack of credibility. i'm
running the same modem, albeit an earlier v.90 incarnation, for a year
without the slightest problem. it's possible that your source made an
assumption based on the fact the usr--and it's usr, not usb--site doesn't
offer linux support. whatever the case may be, the usr 56k faxmodems are
solid on linux.
