Hey! Thanx a lot first of all! Anytime i CAN write something myself - i do. I can go as low as networking code or pseudodevice driver. But i am at loss when it comes to hardware (and within my scope of work etc. i doubt i will ever learn this stuff). Thats why i pleaded for help. I volonteer to be your first alpha-tester. I have this modem blaster thing. It is PCI and it has a UART. I was going to sell it and shell out lots of money for USRobotics 56K ISA real modem. BTW they call it "legacy" modem - i think the general direction is such that PCI will be the only kind available very soon... Well..actually i listed my modem on ebay to get rid of it , but if your code comes first - i will try to keep it. --Ugen > > No, I'm working on adding support for PCI based non-winmodems.
