    Do you think they do not know this? :-)

I've not seen the code, so I know very little.  The only one I worked
with was the the lucent chips, which required hackery to serial.c and
other evil things.

    Before all, it is wonderful that some drivers for linux exist at
    all. :-)

Indeed :)

Linux has support for IBM (mwave), Lucent and PC-Tel is various forms
which is rather nice.  But none of these AFAICT need to bloat the
kernel much at all.

    NB DSL, Russia etc. have nothing to do with this. I have one,
    which must work, otherwise I should blame on myself that bought
    this. :-)

Ah, this is why I got my Lucent modem going --- but I found it wasn't
as reliably as I had wished so I used a PCCard anyhow :(

I hope your is more reliable than mine!
