Many modem manufacturers make an exact duplicate of the PCTEL reference design, and therefore are able to use the PCTEL FCC approvals on their inexpensive modem cards. PCTEL does not, however, sell modems themselves and will not answer end-user support requests.

Linux support

PCTEL refers all support requests to their OEM customers. However, they have produced a number of Linux drivers to be distributed by these modem manufacturers.

A collection of these drivers for kernel 2.4.x can be found on Jan Stifter's Unofficial PCTEL modem for Linux site.

Some older packages are available here and here.
