 I sorta semi-agree with your comment... as the modem require a dedicated
 driver for each OS, and it will be EXPENSIVE for multi OS support... isn't
 that like going backwards from where Hayes Smartmodem moved away from
 (Remember, before the AT command days, comm software have to do everything
 by themselves)? I believe it will only be popular on Windows and newbie
 machines... :)
