Hi List,
This may be of some interest or help to others working with winmodems
too.This is a copy of the email that I sent and received from Creative
Labs.
Thanks,
PS - It sounds as if the PCI makers who have answered my emails would
like very much for their 'winmodems' to be 'linmodems', even if that is
not how they looked at it when they first made them, at least today they
would! ;) hmmm At least they have an opensource
project.
