Oh, I'd bet a winmodem would work better in Linux than it would on
Windows, since no matter what bad things you might say about Linux's
multitasking you'd still have to agree that it's better than Windows.

Foo on that. If the people who sell Winmodems want to get their
hot little fingers into the Linux market, they can write their own
device drivers (UDI, anyone?) and fix the bugs themself.
