Sorry bud, but your winmodem isn't really a modem. From what i
understand, it
is a chopped down sound card that needs special drivers to understand
what the
phone line is telling it. These drivers are PROPRIETARY ie secret. It
seems
that no-one in the Linux community is willing/able to write drivers for
these.
Not that I blame them its like playing darts blindfolded on a turntable,
you
may hit the target....but only by trial an error. and to boot you won't
even
know if you have hit it.
