shared modem

[Wasim Ahmed <wwa97@wasimpc.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hello,

I have searched just about everywhere, but can't find an answer about
this, so probably someone out there knows.  Here goes. . .

Probably the only useful thing that currently cannot be replicated on
a Linux server on Windows NT Small Business Server appears to be
shared modems.

Of course I won't be able to replicate the "wonderful features of
MS-Office", but that's what OpenOffice on Windows machines is for.
There are various fax servers, and probably a lot more that I haven't
even come across.  But what about a replacement for shared modems?

I do know that is not quite right, and there is a mini-FAQ out there
on how to share a modem from a Linux machine onto a bunch of Windows
9x machines.  However it requires the user to get some pretty
expensive Windows software to make it work.  Surely there is a GPL'ed
(or near enough) way?

Thanks,

Wasim.
