Rockwell modems typically use the Rockwell chipsets.
These are winmodems.  Rockwell refuses to release
programming details about these chips, ergo there are
officially NO Linux drivers for them.

For more info on those look at:

.... and at the Linux "Winmodem Support" Page
(<A HREF="http://linmodems.org"
	>http://linmodems.org</A>).  NOTE:  WWW.linmodems.org DOES NOT
WORK.  You must use &quot;<A HREF="http://linmodems.org"
	>http://linmodems.org</A>&quot; if you want
to see their web pages.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
(I didn't know that and had to hunt down the URL
through Google after trying several variations of
www.linmodems.org, ...linmodem.or, ...linmodems.com, etc).
</BLOCKQUOTE>

<em><p>[ As of press time, you don't have to.
	<a href="http://www.linmodems.org/"
		>http://www.linmodems.org/</a> worked just fine
	for me.</p>
<p>But while I have you here, I know that the Lucent (binary-only) driver was 
	mentioned on the <a href="http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/"
		>Debian mailing list</a> for laptop users.  After
	some messing with it, the user was actually successful in getting
	a usable modem. -- Heather ]</p></em>

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Gawd!  A new millennium and I'm still getting Winmodem
questions!   (Please! No mail about how the new
millenium doesn't start until 2001 --- I'm with Linus
on this, I don't care.  It's a tenth of one per cent different!)
