Something in that of course, but even more advantage in going 
for a broadband connection if you can.

I've had success with the Intel 536based (win)modems though, 
and ltmodem is one of the few Winmodems with some level
of linux support, so give it a go if you really need to.

You shouldn't need to *compile* the ltmodem stuff yourself though, as it 
is available as a package for Breezy.  It is one of the elements of 
linux-restricted-modules and should be already on your system by default.

Modules called lt_modem and lt_serial should already be present.  Try this
link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=21312 for more information 
(slightly out of date, as it refers to Hoary preview).

Who has one of these lucent things in his laptop, but has gone broadband now
and won't be going back...
