WinModems _are_ usable in Linux ... it's just that the terms of use
are usually onerous.  Many of the manufacturers don't wish to release
the specs without cash trafing hands (or at least a non-disclosure

There is a kernel driver for the Lucent winmodems ... it's a binary
only module and CPU really gets whacked when you're dialed in.
