All the cool Winmodems (read: Smartlink) have a freely distributable ASLA module (that is shipped with the kernel), and a userspace driver that connects to that ALSA module and emulates a serial port. That userspace driver can then be easily distributed in Debian Non-Free (or equivalent) and pretty much seems to rock. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://www.davyd.id.au/pgp/> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
