Re: CORRECTION Re: [Plug] US Robotics Modems etc, and a question..

Only if the software in the kernel is providing signal processing and direct
control functions. A simple abstraction or control program wouldn't
classify as then an external modem would fit that category also since
communications software could then be classified as the "driver".
In general, Winmodems actually use the host CPU to perform signal processing
functions or IO intensive work.
