No!
Those cards are not trully 'hardware' modems, but need device driver
software to do a fair amount of the work. The manufactures won't
release the information required to write this code, so it doesn't
exist for anything except windows (there might be a binary driver
available for one specific version of Redhat Linux...)

My one doesn't work fine under win98!
I bought an external async (not USB) modem for £25 that actually
connects at a faster rate then the PCI card one did.
