I should have mentioned that the PC I need this for is a laptop with a dead 
hard drive.  There is a winmodem built into the motherboard but its beyond me 
to get this modem to work with linux.  I tried to load and run MS XP as a 
guest in qemu with linux as host but it keeps failing because it can't find a 
hard drive.
