Maybe you’re being sarcastic, but the point of a soft modem was to save the cost of a DSP chip in the modem and just run the software on the host CPU in the driver. That drivers were not written for OSes other than windows was mostly a function of Window’s 95+% market share.
- mrlonglong 5y agoIt's a nice idea but Windows is most definitely not a real time operating system. Timings have to be precise or the modem signal can't be processed correctly. Under load or if the processor is under powered or there's a lack of memory all that goes out the window.
