Hello. I helped a friend configure once a creative blaster modem. It is an external modem, so I thought good it will work with Linux, but it did not work well at all, I'm not sure if it was just the provider we were calling or what, but my support in Linux was very bad. It might have been a defective modem or something with the provider or something in Linux, I wouldn't know cause we took it back. I think it gave issues in windows too mainly frequent disconnects..
