The MWAVE chip on your 390 (and my thinkpad 600) isn't really a winmodem in
the worst sense of the word - it is a programmable DSP chip, so the
the pentium CPU doesn't have to do all of the signal processing work as I
understand it does some "winmodems" that are simply analog-to-digital
converters with telephone jacks on back.

See the petition for IBM support of mwave on linux

and the modem section of

My appologies if you already know about these efforts.
