So something may have changed since then? --}

Unfortunately I can't tell you because I no longer use it. But it was plugged
into a four port comsol powerless USB hub, and was found by pon without any
problems. I have forgotten how I set it up, no wait, I used it straight from
the install of Sarge, and then it just kept working. I never had reason to
query it or if I did, I have forgotten.

Sorry I can't be of more help. the modem was a Maestro Woomera dialup modem if
that's any help.
