Then you likely know enough to avoid buying a winmodem. Some people don't even realize there is a difference, and instead of letting them risk wasting time and money trying to get a winmodem working i point them to that website. IIRC there're only a small number (5?) of PCI modems that are not winmodems. This number is increasing, but not excessivly rapidly. -- finger for GPG public key. 16 Nov 1999 - new key generated, please stop using the old.
