Well, then you know to whom you can complain: IBM, Solectron, and the awards people; I personally don't represent any of those, so it's little use to vent at me. > > > Well, the ThinkPads with the MWave modem are particularly difficult > > > to use with FreeBSD.

Does the internal modem? I doubt he would buy hardware that was legally encumbered to the point that, even if you reverse engineered the interfaces to download a CODEC, you wouldn't have legal access to the CODEC. I suspect that if it has an MWave card, it is being used solely as a DSP for sound, and not as a (cruddy) modem.
