The real question you want to ask is the difference between "hardware"
modems and "software" modems. Modems, were always "hardware", yes they
used firmware burnt into proms to control their functions but they were
what is commonly referred to has "hardware devices.
Then someone got the idea for cost reduction by eliminating the proms and
firmware, replacing them with a software module running in the system CPU
under control of the OS. The OS was usually, at least that was what the
software was written for, some variant of Windows, hence Winmodem.

Subject: Stupid question about winmodems
Could someone define for me the difference between a winmodem and a regular
modem?
