I guess the best solution to all of these evil WINMODEMS would be
to go back to the old EXTERNAL modems. Not that I am
saying everyone should sell their internal modems, but I find that
its easier with external modems because I don't know of any non-
standard, external WINMODEMS ( please correct me). They all use
the standard serial interface on the backs of computers, so I/O
addresses and IRQs shouldn't be that much of a problem. Would
that explain the reason that their are more external CSU/DSUs that
internal ones ? External modems are more machine and OS
independent, and that's how why they are designed that way....
Sorry but the rant, but its a solution....
