3Com Mini-PCI combo WinModem :-(

[Robert Michel <Robert.Michel@post.rwth-aachen.de>]

Salve,

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 with a 3Com Mini-PCI combo WinModem
and I fear, that this 3Com WinModem is still not supported :-(

So I got the idea that spend money for a prize for developing a driver.
When some (maybe 100) user spend 10-30% of the hardware price for
honor driver support, most wanted driver would be develop with 
some hardware-monitoring tricks much faster :-)

Would such an idea match with "Free Software"?
Wich organisation would be able to handle such prizes?
User transfare some money, in case a driver is developt, the developer
gets the prize, if in 1-2 years none developed a driver, the money is
retransfared to the user, or spend for other projects.

If someone know a solution for the 3Com WinModem, he will
get my thanks, if someone going to develop a driver in till End 2003,
he will get 30 Euro from me.
Ok, 30 Euro are not a so big motivation, but imagine some other
user would join ;-)

Greetings,
rob
