For all the Linux 'screw heads' who responded to this message by throwing
rocks at WinModems (which by the way are real modems .... they work don't
they) PC-TEL (http://www.pctel.com) has recently announced a LinModem (i.e.
software driven modem for Linux).  The PC-TEL manufactures chips for OEM's.

The LinModem (or not real modem is on the way).  Maybe this will quiet down
the Linux radical who appear to have less comput knowledge than a MS Windows
wanabee and half the computer experiance.
