Re- PCTEL Modems.
Most PCtel modems I have had the misfortune to deal with were
a) Windows only
b) Used the system CPU for all processing
c) Required a 166 or higher Pentium to get even 33.6
d) Used up all the system resources (e.g. CPU cycles) handling the modem
and could only get about 1/2 the rated throughput.
e) and based on above are not suitable for use by anyone.

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Windows Product.
