Yes.

I have a license, and I've tried both class 1 and 1.0.

Actually, this is the second modem I tried.
The first was an external serial Elsa Microlink 56k Internet, but I
never got it to work. I've read that external serial modem are better
supported in general, but in my attempts the receive process failed, as
if it was some timeout (i.e. like 20 seconds). With this conexant the
receive process returns an error immediately (1-2 seconds), so I thought
I was getting closer to success ;).

Do you think I would have better chances with the external Elsa? I
couldn't get it to work so far...
May I post the logs :-D ?
