The hardware page is like a lot of Linux compatibility pages: it's 
*seriously* under-populated, and doesn't mention quite a lot of consumer 
modems that people actually use. And it's hardware Linux specific, it 
also operates well under various UNIX variants.

Unfortunately, its primary author used a weird scheme of capitalizing 
and not-capitalizing filenames to indicate different functionality, so 
it has at least one include file called "regex.h" and another called 
"Regex.h", and some such files in the same directories. Do not expect 
such software to compile gracefully on case-insensitive filesystems!
