[vox-tech] Conexant (Rockwell) winmodems

Just to clarify, linmodems.org is just an information clearinghouse
site, and doesn't develop winmodem drivers, only link to them.  I have
my own summary of known winmodem drivers, at the end of
http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/#winmodem

My own view is that it's better in the long term to just write off the
(tiny) cost of a winmodem and get a genuine hardware modem to use,
instead.  (If nothing else, your time and trouble cost something.)

I don't see that:  Same proprietary code as before, except now they want
to con the open source community to maintain wrapper layers for them.
But views obviously differ widely.
