As I said, I *LIKE* Lucent winmodems.  They give faster connections and
lower latency than regular modems I've used.  When I'm stuck needing a
modem, that is...  The last several long trips I've taken I've used CDPD
over the POTS modem just so I could be wireless...

Eh?  I thought they still used a regular UART and still had the normal
serial conversion, it was just that all the logic was on one board...  I
can't remember the last time I used a COMx internal modem...
