Winmodems are cheep because the= hardware controller function is handled by the software you have to instal= l into MS/Windows. This hardware controller function is normally contained = in a chip on the modem circuit board. Winmodems are missing this chip and d= irects the modem to use driver software running in the MS/Windows system to= perform the controller function. The most common Winmodem chips are manufa= ctured by Lucent. There are many versions of this Lucent chip resulting in = each chip version needing a different MS/Windows software driver version.= =0A=0AUp until version 4.4, FBSD did not have any solution to using Winmode= ms, but with the release of 4.4 the ports collection now contains the "Linu= x Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver" which was ported to FBSD. This port is very poor= ly documented, only works with a limited number of Lucent chip version, and= can be somewhat unreliable.
