=====================================
HCF indicates a software modem, I believe. This relies on the OS (winxx) to
perform some of the functions usually carried out by real hardware. If I'm
correct about this, it will NOT work w/Linux. Why not go for an external
modem? (e.g., USR faxmodem 56k V.90 or a Courier V.90)
