It is very doubtful that it will. Warren Brown

No, absolutely not. This is a kernel issue. They don't work well with Windows, and at all with Linux. They don't have a hardware processor on them, they rely on software to do all of the processing, which is why they are so cheap (price and quality) Spend the money and get a real modem, it's worth it. For more information, see a linux hardware list.

Hi Rosti,
Any external modem will work with Linux as they have all the components that a real modem needs.

Hope that helps

http://www.redhat.com

should contain a compatible hardware list for their releases. IT should be in the FAQ section... Just look around.

The Lucent Modem Driver for Linux is available through the links on

http://www.linmodems.org.

It works but is no replacement for a real Modem.

Cool, I didn't think it was out yet, but I concur with not using it! Spend the extra money and get something decent.
