I'm one of the people who had a winmodem before I even got into Linux. I
was young, jobless, and a new modem was costly to me. But I bought one
anyway, just because my modem kept disconnecting under a lot of CPU load,
and because I couldn't play modem-to-modem Quake, and I loved it. I'll
never go back to a winmodem, nor will I recommend that filth to anyone.
It's worth the money. Even if you use Windows, it's worth the money.
