[lug] Dialup modems and Linux

[Mr Viggy]

I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that the PCI card you have is a 
Winmodem.  I have two, actually one is my DSL router (internal).  Both 
show up under lspci.  The modem *is* based on the Lucent chipset, and 
the Lucent "Linmodem" drivers work great with it.  However, there are no 
drivers for the DSL router card, so that one just sits in the machine, 
silently...
