Speaking of Linux marketing, I was just looking for a new modem (lighting
struck and blew mine out of the water) and I saw an internal pci usr modem
which says in bold letters on the box "Linux Supported!".   I didn't get to
read up to much on the modem its self, but I'm guessing its a winmodem that
has a Linux port of the software needed to run the hardware.   It's kind of
nice to see more and more companies making their products Linux compatible
(and marketing it as well).
