No. It's not like that. Some winmodem do work on a Linux Box. Just check whether your modem can be install on linux or not. Actually that is the only resion that I changed from Caldera to RedHat bcoz my modem works on RHL 7.1 with kernel 2.4.x or higher.
How was the thru'put, 56K types ??... Any pecial settings involved for installation ??
No special settings. just download the rpm file for your modem ( check your modem vender site for that in my case it was motorola.com or just google for the drivers ) & install it on linux.
After that give the command "kppp" & give the setup for your isp. It is that simple.
