Yup, I know the one... Loosely fits the "hardware" definition as it is
just controllerless w/ DSP. Never had any luck with this chipset under
Linux.
Anyone know if the Red Hat 9 RPM would work with FC4? I know less than
nothing about either of them :)
Which version of SuSE was it? There's a package here which may not exist
on the CDs for licensing reasons:

Again, a serial hardware modem. It's another plug, but it's a great
investment too. You can use it on pretty much any OS which can address
the serial port :)
If it costs less than about 30 Euro or is PCI then it's probably not
fully hardware controlled.
Good luck,
