my bet is that until you read about PCTel opening up the source, and that won't happen until after M$ opens their source for the windows9x kernel. (read: NEvEr). I believe it has MUCH less to do with linux and it's development that it does with the DCMA and US law. (we in America are out to make friends and influence people to be our friends, as long as you don't talk about how sloppy our methods of encryption are or try to "steal" our corporate secrets. heck maybe we could solve the terrorist problem by checking Bin Ladens licenses for M$ products?)

Just my experiance. I am sure PCTel MUST have gotten better since I dealt with them, since I have not bought another PCTel or HSP modem in about 4 years, and still have 2 hanging around the house, not in any box, but my personal feelings are that I would NOT give one of these away to an enemy, much less sell it to someone I don't even know on e-bay.
