And I hope that we never do see something that is just for Linux.
That would imply that we wouldn't be able to use it in other OS's
either.

I don't particularly WANT to use other OS's, but I dont' want to
be limited to any OS _including_ Linux, due to some hardware I've
purchased. I have many uses for a modem in all my OS's, and a
Linmodem would hit the garbage can just as fast as a Winmodem,
IMHO.

Software based hardware solutions are crap...

Take care, TTYL
