Subject: Re: Stupid question about winmodems
A regular modem has hard set com ports and IRQ's, usually set by jumpers
or not adjustable at all. A winmodem rely's on the windows operating
system to determine what com port it uses when you install the modem, and
it get's set temporaroly in a type of flash memory on the modem. This is
why winmodem's don't work in linux, or any other type of non-windows
operating system.
