This is entirely untrue. MWave modems are modems based on IBM's
(proprietary) MWave DSP chipset. Produces modem, audio, audio in, you name
it. This is a piece of hardware but requires downloading microcode from the
OS. The computer's CPU is not in data processing involved afterwards.
Winmodems are modems that have no (or little) modem hardware but use
spare CPU cycles (is there such a thing as spare CPU cycles on machines
which run bloatware all the time? I'm a bit usure about that) to pretend
they are modems. Like these GDI printers which use the machine's CPU
for all the rendering stuff (Microsoft didn't tell anyone this has been
a good idea long before M$ "invented" it - wrt. ghostscript :-)).

This is currently taking place as you slurp your coffee.
