I have too many plates spinning now and we're in beta here at mandrakesoft which means that if we sleep more than 4 hours a day, we need a medical excuse and a 1000 word essay promising never to do it again during a beta ;-} I am unsure when it will be over. But there are certainly some competent engineers out there who might like to look at winmodem source. If it is truly free software, there are probably a few who'd like to hack on it. I suggest you post this question to the expert list. Civileme
