I second that. I have a lucent winmodem on my laptop that has been running
flawlessly now for about 6 months using the drivers at linmodems.org.
It works quite well actually, and uses less power that my pcmcia modem
card too..
Wierd fault though. If my bios OS setting is any of the WINDOWS settings
the bios does something strange to the PCI init, and I cant pick the card
up. Change it to OS:Other and awayyyyy we go....
I believe the driver for the PcTel modems works quite well to..
