Winmodems are crap. Go pick up a decent internal 56k modem for 5-10 bucks. I can almost guarantee that the winmodem wont work in linux because it relies on special software to do the work of the hardware that gets ripped out to save a few bucks. And I don't think any linux coder out there has a pathetic enough life to spend countless hrs reverse engineering junk software for a junk product.
And I'm not saying all that to be mean or pick on you for still relying on dial-up...I just once owned one of those POS devices and to this day bemoan the 100 bucks I foolishly threw away on the thing...and that was like 7 or 8 yrs ago.
