Honestly, I have no idea whether it works or not--I haven't used a telelphone
modem in years. I have the builtin WinModem but only because it came bundled
with the ethernet port, which works great.

Yes, but why get it? You can (once again) order your Inspiron with an ATA
chipset and then it just works without having to go to any trouble (other
than installing XFree 4 instead of the [silly] default of XFree 3).
Plus that way you put your wallet where your heart (presumably) is, in favor
of non-proprietary solutions.
