USB modem with Linux?

[Thomas D. Ward]

Hi, as far as I've known USB modems are supported under Linux.However, you have to make sure you have kernel, and module support for USB devices, and have the USB modems compiled in or as a module.
Also it is worth a shot to try the Lucent Win Modem driver, and see if that works.In a few cases that has gotten some good resaults for getting some Win modems to work under Linux.

  Subject: USB modem with Linux?


  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.
