As I understand it, the modem has no firmware - the code that the modem runs on is loaded into it by software, and since IBM doesn't make the source available :( it's not likely anybody could write drivers for other os's. One idea I had was to see if the win drivers would run under wine, but I never got around to trying it - got a new external modem instead. Andre
