This sounds suspiciously like a WinModem, which is more or less a modem implemented in software with the bare minimum hardware needed to interface to a telephone line. These modems were a cost cutting measure used by large PC manufacturers like Gateway, and are generally not a very good buy unless you plan on using Windows 95 exclusively and don't mind 5-10% of your CPU being chewed up while it acts as a modem. These types of modems aren't currently supported under any other OS than 95 AFAIK. > Ps- Using XFree86 and the Mac64 server how do I start X in 16bpp?
