How do I find out before I go and buy a usb modem that its going to be=20
detected as a umodem or a ugen device. I assume when its detected as a ug=
en=20
then the modem is some type of usb winmodem and its not going to work und=
er=20
bsd.  Are usb modems with CAPI support always winmodems?

Thanks
 Brad
