Re: true harware PCI modem

In my opinion the best bet for modems is always external.

But if you must have an internal there's an internal self-sufficient usr 
56k pci modem.. so I would think that puppy would work. In fact I think 
they call it the 56K V.92 Performance Pro (Model: USR5610B)

http://usr.com/products/home/home-product.asp?type=features&sku=USR5610B

I've never used it but I've heard good things from others. And with it 
having it's own processor or whatever I would think that would keep it 
out of the win-modem class.

In fact I found the US Robotics 3CP5609 PCI (modem) on the i386 
supported list and the 5610B appears to be related.
