Re: [TCLUG:8977] E-Machines

PCI has nothing to do with whether the modem will work or not.  What
actually matters is whether the modem has a dsp chip.  If it doesn't, it is
a WinModem.  I have had two PCI modems that work just fine under Linux (and
FreeBSD for that matter).  One was a X2 USR Internal and the other was a
K56Flex ZOOM.
