I don't know if it is the same, but I know our new Compaq desktop machines came with a new type of modem. Using their Win95 drivers, the modem comes up fine. Unfortunatly, NT and/or Linux could not see the modem at all. After doing some digging, we found out that these modems are missing some "common" chips (UART? Buffer?) and instead offload the chip functions to the driver. Gheesh, they save 5 cents so they can make an incompatible modem that only works with one driver under one operating system...
