They seem to work fine with Ciscos usign Microcoms, I have no idea re:
Micas.  Same for Ascend maxen.  Still, whoever came up with the idea of
this "software" modem can kiss my hairy white ass.  Try loading FreeBSD
onto one of these boxes and you'll see what I mean. I heard that Lucent 
just came out with a driver for Linux, but alas, it's not available in
source form, so there's not much hope of porting it to FBSD.  Not to
mention that they perform very poorly on older PCs.  All to save what?  A
dollar a modem?  Puleeze...

My opinions don't reflect the opinions of Priori, which is irrelevent
because they're no longer in business, and even more irrelevent because
I've never worked for them.  Then again, maybe they do, and maybe it is..
