I think you've just answered your own question there. The 6110 modem is
proprietary and though they have the software to get it working with a
Win95 (WinNT too??) but not WinCE.

But the world has other manufacturers too - like Psion or PalmPilot. A
standard modem over IrDA will support all these devices without being
proprietary.
