Cat, For fax service, you should not rely on a winmodem, but get one of the "hardware"/controller chipset modems, which are a bit more expensive than the winmodems. But their serial like drivers are in every Linux release. Search the Internet for 3CXM556 and/or FM560LK chipsets to find modem cards having them.

I've just tried to install two different PCI winmodems and had no luck under the 2.6.18 kernel both with the pctel drivers and also with the HCF drivers. So I just want to start again with good hard ware. Can I have some recomendations for highly linux compatable PCI voice / fax modems that are value for money and readily available at the moment? I want to use it as an answer phone and fax. Thanks in advance.
