Ahhh.. not unless your ready to provide a full emulation of the windows API as you never know what these drivers might call. Also you need to do hard real time to be able to run a soft DSP, and we are a very long ways from hard real time. (So is windows, thats why these modems tend to be so problematic on systems under heavy loads). > I know nobody wants to do this, but considering the availability of the > junky winmodems, it sure would be nice if there were such a module [short > of emulating MS-Windows in the background!] Your going to have to emulate a rather larger portion of MS-windows to get them to work :-(. > Forgive me if it's not possible, but I'm starting to believe that "FreeBSD > can do anything." --Glen Gross > Anything that is reasonable to do... :-) -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
