Tell you what, you give me 10 Gs, and I'll give you a brand new
top of the line ThinkPad. Ok? I'll even save you 5 G's on it!
Seriously though - you want to know why the big boys still use Winmodems
on their laptops? It's just simple economics. The Linux laptop market

winmodem. The Linux drivers work fine.
