Actiontec 56K int PCI Call Waiting modem



I'm interested in the Actiontec 56K int PCI Call Waiting modem and I was
wondering if anyone is using it with Linux.  It claims to work with Linux
(it seems to make that a selling feature, in fact) but the one jumper pair
are not documented.  In the install directions, they tell you to cat
/proc/pci and poke that info into a setserial command.  Once you have it up
you're supposed to create an init file which will do the setserial at boot.

The included software, of course, is Windows only.

I was wondering what experiences others may have had;  whether this int.
PCI modem worked with Linux, the speed and reliability, the reliability of
the "call waiting" feature (I see that you only get about 7 seconds to take
and dismiss the call before you lose your connection but that could be OK...).

Thanks!
