Has both DB-25 and USB ports. Claimed to work with Win 95/98/2000. Unfortunately, my Debian Linux box refuses to recognize it. I've tried mgetty, vgetty, and agetty, and the modem simply won't recognize the ATZ or ATDT7195551212 strings, or respond with an error code. It's got a new USB cable and a DB25-to-DB9, so its not the cable....plugged it into my old ThinkPad, and it works great. I should mention that the Linux box is a Raspberry Pi 4B, 8 GB RAM, 500GB SSD.
