Just ordered the $199 Oracle computer which runs Linux 2.2.15 and has a lucent
soft modem at http://thinknic.com  So as the base of linux computers increases I
think modem manufacturers (a few of them at least) start providing drivers. Now
just have to wait for that Philips mp3 cd player to come out next month
http://expanium.com or at least they say it will.
