	Softmodem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also referred to as a Winmodem because the first commercially available softmodems mostly targeted the Microsoft Windows operating system running on IBM-PC compatibles, although their usage has become more widespread over other operating systems and machines e.g.
		Winmodems have earned a certain notoriety for slowing down their computer systems and for having buggy drivers, although this reputation was largely garnered during the period of their introduction to the mass-market, whereupon they were oft to use substandard drivers, and be found in entry-level computers with slow CPUs.
		Although "Winmodem" is actually a specific brand of U.S. Robotics modem, the term has now come to mean any software-based modem (in the same way that Xerox refers to any brand of copy machine).

	Encyclopedia: Winmodem
		A modem (a portmanteau word constructed from modulator and demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal (sound), to encode digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.
		A computer bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from working correctly or produces an incorrect result.
		Controllerless modems, such as those made by Lucent and Motorola perform much of the modem work on the card, and require only small amounts of CPU power to complete.

	F r e e U K - An Explanation Of Winmodems - /winmodem.php
		A number of USR Winmodem users have written in to say that they have been very pleased with the performance of their modem, and hadn't noticed any slowdown on their computer.
		Winmodem configuration can be messy, because Winmodems use a range of memory addresses instead of a fixed memory address.
		But Winmodems are also popular for features like DSVD (digital simultaneous voice and data) and answering machine features, which are easier to implement with an HSP modem.

	CPU usage with winmodem - OSNN Forum
		I know the winmodems are software driven and were CPU hogs, but ding dang that seems kinda high.
		You are correct in what you say winmodems use your motherboard's CPU instead of their own chips to run, slowing your system down and causing your games to lag.
		This is due to the winmodem's dependence on the CPU.

		Winmodems are meant to be cheap,Voice models will not have a microphone or speaker connector to plug in, they have a TAD connector sometimes on the inside for connection to your soundcard.
		If you buy a winmodem, also make sure you know that whenever you connect or disconnect it will lock up your computer for a few seconds, so don't be playing games or burning CD's while you do that.
		3Com however does make their winmodems use less CPU than competitors (particularly over HSP software modems) and have less of an impact on games, but still there is extra latency added by the use of the CPU to do the processing.

	Linux Help Forums -> Winmodem
		I've do not have any actual experience using a winmodem but you should be able to use any modem app.
		You are however, better of with a proper hardware modem (Winmodems are only semi-hardware devices, a lot of processing is done by the CPU/OS, rather than the modem).
		I tihnk the MDK10.1 support for WinModems is better than 9.1 (everything else is more up to date anyway) so you might want to consider upgrading.

	IBM-supplied LT WinModem Drivers
		Early on with the first implementation of AT&T/Lucent WinModems on Aptivas disappointing results were almost universally reported as far as connection speeds.
		Note that while these files can be applied to all LT WinModems when applied to early 2159, 2161 and 2162 models which were sold with the first design 33.6k modem which was specified as being non-upgradable to 56k while the drivers may provide better performance they will NOT yield faster than 33.6k connections.
		IBM has included the 4.23 level of drivers for the LT WinModem with the 5.18 v.90 drivers so to easily support returning to the previous drivers in the event of any problems.

		Reason: This can occur when you install a Winmodem and Windows 95 already has a record for that COM Port in the registry prior to the install.
		If the modem responds, on screen, that the modem is a Sportster Winmodem, then the modem is working correctly.
		If other programs were placed on this line prior to installing the Winmodem, it is possible that the additions made by the Winmodem exceeded the character limit.
