No, it is a Gericom one. Only SuSE 8.0 can be installed on the Gericom 
Overdose without any problems. It has got a SiS 630 chipset and this 
causes some trouble with the X driver under SuSE 7.3,7.2,... (or one can 
compile the kernel if he wants; I find it easier to use SuSE 8.0). Btw: 
if someone has got a Gericom Overdose and want that he can use his 
Winmodem under Linux he should get the driver from the SMARTLINK guys. 
The Gericom Winmodem has got no brand name, but some nice guy assumed it 
is a Winmodem from Smartlink. Write to the SMARTLINK developers and they 
will send you a driver which works (at least for me).
