But is it impossible ? Or have the WinModem people actually done their homework and made a good job of it ? I tend to believe they wouldn't be shipping 10's of millions of these things unless they worked pretty decently. If someone has hard evidence (rather than theoretical, theological, and aesthetic opinions) either way I'd be interested to hear it.
