Minicom is a text dial up program..used to help find a hard to find modem  
:-)   wvdial is another I've heard ppl mention..I've never used either of 
these but that really doesn't mean anything..lol.

The site you're looking for is www.linmodems.org. I'm using an isa zoom modem 
here..so it's definately possible t make "some" internals work..best of luck 
to ya  :-)
