Is this Controller-based or a Softmodem?

Would anybody happen to know whether or not this modem is controller-based?

I have read those are the same as winmodems. Stick with external serial modems. I have personally used this one:

It works very well. You may also want to check with a local ISP. I bought a USRobotics for $10.00 once. I had to configure it a bit but after a few days of testing settings, that thing was really nice. Lots of lights too.

Hope that helps.

According to USB terminology it's neither -- it's a "controllerles" or "Winmodem".
