Description:

56k external serial hardware modem, V.90 and V.92 compatible.
This modem worked wonderfully with SuSE 10.0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit) both for dial-up and for use with mgetty to create a dial-in server. Since this is an external hardware modem, there were no issue with drivers -- just plug it in to the serial port and go.
In my configuration, I simply made a symbolic link from /dev/ttyS0 (the first serial port) to /dev/modem and pointed kppp to /dev/modem to enable a dial-up connection. Setting up a dial-in server was fairly trivial too, using webmin and reading a few guides on Google. One thing to note with SuSE, you have to enable IP forwarding and open up the ports in the firewall that you're going to enable traffic on. Also make sure to enable proxyarp in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 (or whatever your device's options file is).
As a final note, be sure to purchase the serial version rather than the USB version as there are reports that the USB version of this modem does not work with Linux.
