What PC Card modems are they talking about?

AS I posted last time, I have tried the 'True Hardware' Zonet PC Card
modem and can't get it to work. On the box it came in, it even says that
it is compatible with Linux that have later kernals, but does not specify
which kernal(s) it is talking about.

I have a US Robotics Megahertz 28.8 kbps XJACK PC Card modem that I
upgraded (via a firmware update) to 33.6 kbps. Linux sees it as a
serial port. It's worked fine in every machine I've used it in. These
can be picked up very cheaply on eBay, and computer surplus stores often
have buckets full of them they're dying to unload.

US Robotics 56k pci modems are good real modems. They are not winmodems. Some
AT&T series Wind modems AKA Lucent Technologies are noted for not working.
Other Windmodems by other manufactures sometimes do work. Best thing is to
get on the Thinkpad list and bounce the hardware issues around there.
