USB modem with Linux?

[djden]

Hello
I am using SuseBlinux with hardware speech synth and Braille display on com1 and 2. I only have a winmodem which uses virtual comport 4 and will therefore not work with Linux. I only have two physical comm ports on my machine.
Is there any way around this? I wonder if any USB modems are supported in Linux - specifics would be helpful?
I do not think software speech is fully developed yet and the Apollo2 is very responsive.
Any help welcomed please.
Thanks.
