RE: [SLUG] Rockwell HCF Modem on linux?

["David Kempe" <david@nospam.solutionsfirst.net>]

I'm pretty srue that HCF just means software. And the "modem" is just an
anolog to digital converter. This means all the other modem functions are
handled in software. So unless you can code an entire software modem driver
I don't think its going to work. Short answer is get a decent modem. You'll
have less trouble in windows too.

btw, I too had many bad experiences with these from my time @nospam. IBM... they
suck really bad

Yours
