No, it's a "software" modem, it's just that certain software modemns have had their specs open and others have had binary-only drivers released for them... Wes On Tuesday 07 January 2003 1:55 am, Aramico wrote:
Well, if the modem can work under Linux, the name is not WinModem, It's a kind of Hardware Modem.

Well, it's a little bit easy to indicate what your modem is ? If your modem is a kind of internal model, it must be a win modem. A win modem is a kind of modem that the mechanism is provided by windows application, it's not workin on linux machine.
Not necessarily true.
If you got an internal modem with the branded one such as USR Robotics,
it
is not win modem, it can work on linux platform. Basically, if you found a warning on your modem that your modem need minimum requeirment processor, it means you got a win modem, can not
work
with Linux.
Okay, hope that can clear your problem.
There are a few WinModems that *do* work under Linux, but generally
speaking,
they do not. My laptop has a Conexant chip in it, which does have a Linux driver available.

I have not tried to use this software, so I can't say first hand that it works.
Later,
