Hi there --

I'm getting ready to assemble a computer, and intend to use Debian Linux as the OS.* In addition to everything else I want to have a 56k modem for the computer -- partially as an emergency backup for the network, but mainly so that I can run a fax and answering machine app on the computer and get rid of my extremely low-quality answering machine.


From what I've seen out there, the US Robotics USR5637 looks like a promising option:* it's a small (almost tiny) external modem which connects via USB, and purports to have Linux support.* My question:* has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with this component on a Debian system?


Thanks in advance,
-PT
