: No, I'm not so sure. It's almost surely winmodem but there : are exist small chance that it's not a winmodem... : : Why [almost] all PCI modems are winmodems? Well... PCI has : VERY complex protocol... so you'll need custom-made chip to : handle it... and thus you need HUGE number of selled modems : to be profitable... and since for most users winmodem is : enough and it's cheaper then real modem better to create : winmodem and not real one... so almost all PCI modems are : winmodems (even if it's not stated explicitly) but I hear : rumours that there are exists real PCI modems and if you are : lucky may be yours is not winmodem ... Chance is small : hovever...
While I usually agree with you, 3Com/USR does have their standard v90 NON-Windmodems available in the PCI variety. I have a few in my stock room right now.
