Aren't external USB modems just external winmodems in another cloak? I've
settled on two varieties that seem to work every time, the USR 5610B internal
PCI, or external serial modems - I haven't found an external serial that
doesn't work, so far. I've had success with Trendnet, Zoom, and one other
whose name escapes me. The USR 5610B internal modem is recognized natively by
FC4 - no need to even install the USR linux driver any more, which had a
couple of weird issues, though they worked.
I use Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. modems exclusively & their USB modems
were external winmodems with a Lucent chip set. Multi-Tech also makes
internal/external modems that are Linux/Unix certified. Maybe this is
the one that escapes you ;-)
