Well OK. I've tried many times to install winmodems in linux and have
failed. Call me lazy but I have to admit I just went to my SuSE.com and
looked in the hardware database and went to eBay and searched for that
product or one that used that same drivers. After I got tired of
compiling bunk drivers.

BTW' you will always be able to get the windows drivers in most cases if
you need them too?
