Are the specifications for a winmodem a secret? If not, it
seems to me that a Linux winmodem driver would be a Simple Matter Of
Programming (tm). I could imagine timing needs that might require one
to extend Linux interrupt handling or scheduling a tiny bit, but that
is about the only special need that comes to mind. Maybe the issue
is that you have to implement some huge modem protocol stack? If more
of the modem must be implemented in software, I wonder if that would
enable one to write interesting extensions, such as encodings optimized
for low latency for interactive video games.
