<CAVEAT ADDED> Almost all PCI modems are Winmodems. All Lucent Technology
modems are Winmodems. Any 56K modem not named Courier or Sportster by USR
is a (true!) WinModem (they have the right's to the name). </CAVEAT>

<CAVEAT ADDED>Again, look for the Winmodem label on USR products, or
LHT, LT, etc., for others... I have 3 Winmodems in my collection of
modems (about 10 going back over the years), ALL of which are ISA except
for a 300 baud external Accoustic Coupler Modem. </CAVEAT>

<CAVEAT ADDED> Ditto on the SERIAL external modems... but I've yet to hear
of a USB external modem that isn't a Winmodem of some sort. Also, let's
keep our terms right... a Cable modem is a different beast entirely, and
I've never heard of an External Cable modem that was a Winmodem, either.
