Probably you had one of those ‘winmodem’ monstrosities that were prevalent at the time. I experienced similar problems.

- chrisseaton 8y agoThere's nothing inherently wrong with a software modem. It's just a different way of implementing the hardware. Some software modems were effectively programmable DSPs, almost like a software defined radio for a wired connection. I doubt they ever claimed Linux driver support so it's not their fault people weren't able to get them working.
