[plug] Linux & Voice Modems

[Ben Jensz]

Banksia Wave SP56, never had a problem with it.  Its always worked 
flawlessly.

Now known as a "Netcomm Wave SP56".  Exact same modem, except where 
"Banksia" badging was, it says "Netcomm" instead.

You can of course go for something more expensive like a Maestro Woomera 
or a 3com Courier (if you can get a hold of one).
