There are a lot of modems out there on the market that are not winmodems
and run less than $100. In fact, I just bought one, a Creative Blaster
Flash 56K II, which is an ISA controller-based modem. All that was written
in bold letters on the box.....essentially says to the user "this isn't a
winmodem"!
There are also, from what I'm reading on the Linux NGs, some drivers
floating around that works with Linux and PCI winmodems! I knew there
would be a time when the Linux community would resist the "we will never
hack winmodems" attitude.....
