From what I understand, a WinModem takes 33% of a P5-133 CPU (under
Win95), so you probably don't even want to bother... the bad part about this is
running CPU-intensive programs while you're online with a WinModem has a
tendancy to cause many problems... my suggestion is to get a modem that has all
of it's brains built-in :)
