I agree that he probably does have a winmodem, but I take issue with
your "WinModem checklist". How is it that any of these first four items
mean you have a winmodem? There is no relationship between PCI and
winmodems. There is nothing stopping a "real modem" manufacturer from
making a PCI modem. The lack of jumpers is related to it being a PCI
card, not a winmodem. What's the size of actual card got to do with
what kind of modem it is? That is just more indicitive of the
integration of the technology on the chip. And the only modems that
ever come with computers are winmodems? There is nothing stopping a
computer maker/seller from putting "real" modems into a computer.
