I have only tested the 56k functionality, not GSM, fax, or voice. 56k works great. Modem dialing sound even comes out of my laptop's speakers! I've tested it with 5.1-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE. Here's what it looks like in dmesg: sio4: <3Com Megahertz 3CXM756/3CCM756> at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 9 function 0 config 34 on pccard0 sio4: type 16550A sio4: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode - using normal mode I think it's a bit of a power hog though. Don't dial up unless you're on AC. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
