Hello,
I wanted to know if anyone here has any idea of what would go into building
support for Winmodems under Linux. From what little technical knowledge I
have, I am lead to believe that MOST popular winmodems are based on a
Rockwell chip. Does anyone think it would be possible to reverse engineer a
winmodem to get the information needed to make a winmodem driver for Linux?
Is Rockwell keeping the info to themselves, or is there any possibility of
getting enough info from them to design a driver? Lastly, would anyone be
interested in starting a "Winmodem driver initiative"? I am only just
beginning to program in C. I haven't even tackled Linux device drivers yet.
But, I would be willing to grow my programming skills doing something like
this.
Thanks,
George Lenzer
