[Nottingham] Winmodem support

[chris stones]

In a word... No.
if you are willing to pay, winmodems based on the Connexant chip work fine.

There's not much demand for winmodem drivers anymore, broadband has 
truely taken off.

the demand now is onto wireless network cards.

you would be better off getting a real modem, not only will linux 
support it, but you will get much better conectivity than those 
*pretend* modems / software modems / cheap lumps of crud.
