Whilst waiting for my Knoppix downlad to complete I have been reading round about this winmodem stuff and thinking 'what if I have one !'
How does one know (from within Windows eg.) if one has a winmodem !?
Is there a generic telltale/method anywhere ? Or do I just wait to see if a Linux distro can find it sortof after the event ?
I know theoretically what the differences are, ie. all the processing is done in the modem chipset [know about the AT and the Hayes compatible codes and all that, etc, in the olden days !! been there done them at 9.6k and 14k] or it is all on the PCmain proc chip that has to do it all.
But what of this _modern_stuff_ that is on a board pluged into my motherboard, how do I ask it what it is ? SiSoftSandra reports it as a Creatix V90 HaM Data Fax Modem, anyone know ? Is that hardware, hybrid, or winmodem ?
