	Most of the USB modems are ACM compliant and supported.  You
might run into a few USB to serial adapters, such as the Belkins, which
are not "officially" support (non-ACM) but can be made to work with some
of the existing drivers.  I haven't been able to get the Delorme USB-serial
dongle to work (can't seem to set the baud rate properly) But actual
modems should work pretty well.  I've got some USR 56K/Voice/Fax modems
with USB and they work great.
