I have a Lucent PCI Winmodem in my laptop, running RH's 2.2.16-3
kernel, and the driver available at www.linmodems.org.  I've had no
problems with PPP connections and the like.  I sure wish they'd
(Lucent) open source their driver, though; the lack of support for 2.3
and 2.4 kernels finally drove me back to 2.2 ('couldn't bear the
thought of rebooting into Windoze just to use the modem). :)
