Get yourself a real modem, i.e., not DSP powered and you will be OK. You can also check out www.linmodems.org. If you are lucky, your modem will be supported or the manufacturer will have released a binary driver.Am I right in believing that all external serial (RS232 not USB) modems are "real" modems?
Yes. Any device that connects to the actual serial port must have a UART, or it cannot communicate with the port. This makes it impossible to have an external serial winmodem. -Roberto
