Excellent for dreampi
The media could not be loaded. The price maybe high but you also get a robust customer service.You can use this to work on a dreampi set up straight out of the box without needing to update to the latest firmware, watch out for a sticker with rev 2, and you're good to go.Despite having the modem and raspberry pi, you still need a line voltage inducer. To get your dreamcast online.

Works with Arch Linux laptop for fax
I originally bought this modem for a nostalgia-filled dialup Internet experience but couldn't find anyone offering the service any more. It tried it with fax and it works fine: installed hylafax and use a2ps to create faxable pages. Works really well outgoing, but not tried it incoming yet. The only thing missing is the famed dialup warble.
