In fact ACM would allow for control traffic to be handled out of band doing away with a major ugliness of the AT command set. I don't think many modems implement such out-of-band messaging; they could, but in-band messaging is a lot easier to manage. Unfortunately they'd be fully valid ACM modem

[linux-usb-devel] rfd:real modem support in kernel space

2004-05-31 Thread Oliver Neukum
Hi, going through the ACM specification I have come to the conclusion that our in kernel model for modem support is wrong and stupid. The problem is that we strictly speaking don't have modem support. We have support for com ports, but not modems. However a modern modem rarely really hangs on a c
