That's probably wishful > thinking, huh? But I'm holding out hope there's something else I can do. ============================= I'm afraid that's precisely what "soft" means. You can check www.linmodem.com but I think your best bet is to pick up an external hardware modem. It's a few bucks you'd probably not like to have to spend, but once you do (assuming you have no reasonable access to some type of broadband) you feel it was money well worth spending.
