LT is Lucent, yes. As a general case, a true modem requires very little controlling software beyond "the serial port is over there" and a handoff to basic serial code. So, if you have a fairly large VXD under the hood of your modem driver in MSwin, it is likely to be a "controllerless modem" whether they say so or not. winmodem is a trademark of 3com. I forget which company started this mess. * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
