It seems to work fine on USR USB modems. On the Supra I bought (because it was easily available), it works for dialout and makes PPP connections, but outgoing IP connections fail under an indeterminate set of conditions. It's not clear where the problem is - I'll be investigating it as soon as I once again have free time (a couple of weeks). Nick has indicated he was going to try this version and commit it, but it hasn't happened yet.
