It may not be an issue for _you_ but taking the moral or technical high ground and saying there are more virtuous issues to work on or better solutions doesn't change the fact that I have to boot win95 to connect to the Internet right now from my machine at home.
The more hardware support we have for linux, the better things will be IMHO.
If someone is thinking of starting up a winmodem project, I'll try to help in whatever limited way I can.
Just my 0.02c too.
