Can I use Conexant V90 56K Data Fax PCI modem?

[mouldy]

I got hold of a Dynex DX-M300 usb modem. Its supported by this driver and dials and connects, but slow isnt the word, ITS S...................................L.......................................O.................................W....................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of the 2.8 or 3.0KB/s downloading a file, it downloads at like 0.2 to 0.3KB/s

And yes this is the Dell-ubuntu driver: http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/modem-drivers/hsf/ supposedly without speed limitations. I used the .tgz version from page above so I dont have to screw around undebbing or unrpming.

Oh, I am using Puppy 3.01

Is it because the modem is usb? Has anybody else had problem with the Dell driver?
