A common 'workaround' is to buy a PCMCIA modem. But beware that your
PCMCIA modem card is no 'WinModem'. The Intel RM56G modem works great for
my machine under Linux - plug & play.

For some info about WinModems and the modem problematic, take a look at my
page http://www.axu.de/steff/ - it is for the R31 and contains some links
and info that may help you (especially the link to
http://www.linmodems.org/).

Best wishes,
