Question What really is the problem with Win modems in Linux?!?

I am just curios what the deal really is with the modems not able to work under Linux. I understand that they don't have controllers, but can't drivers be created for them in the same way as under Windows. I thank all that reply for the information on this topic. Leo.

Yes, drivers can be written in Linux for winmodems.
One for the Lucent has been around for over a year, and I believe there's one somewhere for the SoftK56V, as well as a beta for the HCF.

Some Winmodems are now Linmodems as well .. check out:
Winmodems are not modems; Linux information page to get answers to all your questions on this fascinating topic that has far reaching implications in the way we study humankinds' purpose on this universe .. ok just kidding, but thats a good page.

This makes for a good read while soaking in the bathtub


Also if you wanna check if your winmodem will infact work head to http://lhd.datapower.com
