The modem should work under vmware if the software is loaded to use the
modem. But as for switching back to linux to use it, i don't think it
would be possible. Because of the way these modems work , they need more
than a connection. They are missing a DSP (i think) and can not handle
alot the processing them selves , and hense need the OS , usually
windows, to do it for them. So programs need to go though this software
and linux apps would not.........
