Re: [LI] Winmodems



  Winmodems = Windows + Modem != Linux + Modem
  Therefore, Winmodems => OS = Windows
        The guys who make the modems write their own drivers, so that
the technology remains with them. The larger user-base for
Windows also helps.. Linux does not yet have commercial software
gaining popularity, and with the demand for free-source, things can
be a bit hard for those guys... I guess. Also, if they do a driver
for any one kernel version, there is no guarantee that it would
work for any other kernel version.
