Still wanting a USB modem, I did a little more exhaustive research. The Hiro modem uses the Agere/Lucent chipset and there appears to be no Linux drivers for it anywhere. Realizing this after I purchased a winModem, I tried unsuccessfully to find any kind of driver that might work. These winModems require fairly sophisticated drivers. To make these modems as cheap as possible, much of the signal processing was pushed off onto the host PC. It’s been so long since I have used modems I completely forgot about WinModems. So without much research I purchased a Hiro USB modem. I have a few old modems in the junk bin, but they need an RS232 serial interface which would be a pain to replicate on an RPI. For the first time in probably 15 years, I find myself needing to use a modem.
