Folks,
This becomes a FAQ so I just added it as FAQ #22 at

Marvin,
I'd love it if you would identify a particular brand/model of modem that
works best under Linux. I'm so frustrated with the 4 different modems I've
tried. I'll gladly spend for a modem that will definitely work.
Thank you for all your hard work! I really really appreciate it!
Thanks!
John

Subject: Re: Which PCI voice / fax modem to get.
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.
