Well, first off, it's a Winmodem.
Look at www.linmodems.org for support and status of binary drivers.
Secondly, if you have a Lucent Mars chip, you're in luck - according to http://www.heby.de/ltmodem:
| Quote: | | LTModem is part of the gentoo package system, so you can just run "emerge ltmodem". |
That takes care of modem support - it will also have fax capabilities.
Last, a simple Google for "linux fax" generates a host of options - check them out.

thank you, very good advice. you know people allways want to know which is "the best" program to perform something. i guess i try them out. theres but that littel problem: when emerging a tool to try it out it may occur that a bunch of other neccessary things is installed, too. but when unmerging the tool, the rest of not-needed stuff stays in place? if i could be sure that really everything that isnt used is removed after judging against a tool, i would try out them more...
btw, this modem card here seems to be a lucent mars 2 chipet.
