And he's been explaining that if you are using a DOS box in Windows you can use a winmodem with DOS software. Think about it, it means that Windows has already been present and loaded the software emulation required to run the modem. To say, therefor, that you cannot use a winmodem in DOS is inaccurate. You would rather say that you cannot use it in non-windows DOS operating systems. You would say that such a modem, crippled as it is to be cheaper to produce and purchase, can only be used when windows has been loaded on a system although you can close down the explorer.exe which provides the windows GUI and use the modem in DOS v9. Now then "mr. know everything potty mouth," do you think you can step forward into adulthood and learn to speak to people as equals with respect? Can you say "respect?" It has more than four letters and two syllables but then some of your profanities do too. Learn it, and you will find the world is a much nicer place. -- For a country to be free it's citizens must have a way to defy unjust laws.
