It would have been most helpful if you told us its USR model number.

My most recent experiences are only with the only internal Linux modem
that US Robotics currently sells, their 5610 series.
eBay has some USR5610C internal PCI modems that would be F10 compatible.
At about $40USD/Ea. they'd uncomplicate your system interface options.
By routing your home's RJ-11 terminated phone cable to the "first"
modem's input connector and then connecting another RJ-11 terminated
cable to the "second" modem from the "first", the "first" computer has
priority over the phone line use.
I know this isn't what you requested. However, this eliminates another
external device while using economical cabling.
My $0.02USD. HTH
