I'm just a user, no more, 100% Slackware.
I'll admit I evacuated all M$ products in the middle of 1998,
(WIN 3.1 didn't work worth a hoot, never enough resources)
but I never heard of a driver for a modem, unless it is a `WIN'
modem of course. (read half modem)
Normal modems can easily be programed and the settings are
then locked in as a `user profile' and ATZ installs your
user profile. (the one you wish, if more than one)
Most modems of a brand work much alike, the settings
vary little from model to model, keep trying the brothers
and sister products and see if one set's it up good for you.
Modems are programmed using a `dial out' program, the kind
you call a BBS with. like Telix, procomm etc.
(Mincom in LINUX) and they can be programmed with one operating
system and used by another.
You program a modem by reading the AT command set and picking
the values you want, then you send them to the modem using a small
basic set of rules, such as: start on the first character at the
left of the screen, (just after a carriage return) and all commands
between two carriage returns must be in the same case.
I expect you can get your questions answered here.
