As far as I can tell from the packaging, it "appears" to be a full 
hardware modem.

I have copied their web site blurb below:

Model 3095F V.92 USB Mini External
Miniature 56K modem works with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers

The low-cost Model 3095F modem plugs into the USB port of any notebook 
or desktop computer. It's miniature design makes it ideal for travel.

The Model 3095 is approximately the size of a disposable lighter. The 
modem’s short integrated cable plugs directly into a computer USB port, 
and the other end of the modem connects to a phone jack through a 
standard phone cord. The standard phone cord is easy to replace if it’s 
lost or forgotten, a considerable advantage over the proprietary phone 
cords used with most PC Card modems.

The modem’s power is provided by the computer’s USB port, eliminating 
the need for a power adapter when traveling, and reducing power adapter 
clutter in the home or office.

An on-board digital signal processor and controller maximize system 
stability and performance. The Model 3095 provides a downstream data 
transmission rate of up to 56,000 bits per second (bps) and an upstream 
rate of up to 48,000 bps. All V.92/V.44 features are supported, 
including Quick Connect, Modem-On-Hold, and improved compression for the 
graphic content found on the Worldwide Web. Other advanced modem 
features include voice mail support, send and receive fax, and ZoomGuard 
advanced lightning protection.

Documentation and software are provided in multiple languages, including 
English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Greek, French, Italian, Polish, 
and Turkish.

The Model 3095F is RoHS lead free compliant.

The box states that a CD is enclosed with multi-lingual manual and 
Windows fax/voice software. The box and the web site copied above 
indicate that it works under Linux. The on-board DSP woulod seem to 
indicate a full h/w modem and not a winmodem. Putting a DSP in a 
winmodem is kind of the opposite of the reason for a winmodem I thought.

Not too sure how well HylaFAX works with a USB modem. Always used 
HylaFAX before with serial port or internal modems.

Thanks,
Terry
