Yes, it's not a Winmodem -- although if anyone has a cast-iron way for me
to tell for 100% sure, that would be nice. I specifically changed the order
from the default (which is, of course, a Win-pseudo-modem) and they charged
me for a real modem; the documentation (such as it is) also looks like it
belongs to a real USRobotics/3COM modem.
As I understand it, the modem gets configured to IRQ 10 during power-on by
the PCI gubbins, so there's no way to control that.
And it really does work perfectly without the network card in there; my
understanding is that a WinModem wouldn't be accessible at all, since there
wouldn't be a driver for it anywhere in the system.
Yes? No?
