Actually, Lucent doesn't make any modems--they just make the chipset. However, the Lucent "LT" chipset supports V.90, 56K and is found on a lot of generic *and* branded WinModems. Technically, it is NOT even a "winmodem". See my comment -->

You can get a "generic" PCI (internal!) Lucent LT WinModem for about $20. All the ones I've ever seen (about 5) work PERFECTLY with BeOS 5.0+. They are not "true" winmodems. The lucent modem chip actually does all the signal processing--unlike a "real" winmodem, which uses your CPU. The reason they are sold as "winmodems" is because they don't communicate with the driver over a standard serial port. This is actually an advantage, as there is even less CPU overhead than using a serial port! (as long as you have a driver, which fortunately, BeOS 5 comes with.) So, if you need an internal modem, get one... just make sure it has a *Lucent* chipset!

I have a Lucent winmodem on my computer and works perfect! Just be aware to disable PnP in your BIOS while booting, so that BeOS (5) make a specific "lucent" entry in yuor modemlist.

I have also an ISA LTWinModem, it does not work. Is there someone who have a technical document about the chip in this card.

Newer versions will have Agere written on the chip - Lucent changed their name. Simplest way to get an internal modem working with BeOS, in Windows it supports v92 with latest driver!

I had a Lucent Win, and it worked very well! :) With a great speed. Lucent is a very good modem!

Didn't work for $hit in my Athlon. Best suited for Windoze. Be smart...buy a better modem! This one's crap!
