Winmodems were not made to solidify microsofts monopoly, they were made to
save money.  The fact that they only run under windows is purely due to
market share, and the unwillingness to release specs on how the modem
works (as to lose trade secrets).

To answer the original posters question, I have that exact modem in my
toshiba. It does not work under linux. Buy a pcmcia modem, or wait untill
they release drivers.
