Winmodem is an oxymoron.  It is NOT a modem.  It is called a modem by
lying manufacturers and salesmen.  It contains the bare essential
hardware to make a connection but utilizes windows software to imitate a
modems behaviour.  There is not nor will there probably ever be any way
to use it without windows installed.  You should buy a REAL modem.
Winmodem is a tarbaby designed to keep you stuck on windows.  Only a
real jerk would flame you.  Thousands have been cheated by this ruse.
(By the way, the crossposting is not only unnecessary, it is irritating
when offtopic)
