Joe Pranevich -- Wonderful World of Linux 2.4
Ports - Serial, Parallel, Infra-Red, etc.
In a separate department, there has been some work since 2.2 on supporting
so-called
"WinModems". These are modems which exist largely in software and whose
drivers are
only provided by the manufacturer for Windows. (Hence the name.) While no
code has
been submitted to Linus for the support of these beasts, it is possible that
we may see some
support for them before 3.0. One major obstacle here is that each and every
WinModem is
different, it is unlikely that a driver for one would be applicable to
another and the sheer
number of different types of WinModems would make this difficult or
impossible to ever get
a decent selection of hardware supported.
Hmmm...the waft of a butterfly's wings in China...
Peace,
V
