..Snip..

I did not sya this. I just referred the MODEM HOW-TO on Linux
Documentation Project website and gave you a section from there.
The fact of the matter is that some of the PCI modems may work with
linux but there are many which do not. I know for sure that 
Rockwell modem that is shipped with Compaq Presarios does not work.

My point is that best bet may be an ISA internal modem or external 
modem which will always work.
