Hello

Linux does not support winmodems. This is because some of the functionallity of modem is being done in windows vxd driver.

You must use a modem that appears to computer as a normal serial port modem.

They have started writing software for win modems and a few of them are working now.

look up linmodems on google

and get a real modem

external is the best, although you pay a little more for it, it has lights and stuff that are way cool to look at when you are stoned.
