I suspect that this was meant to disparage winmodems, not the Linux drivers. I tend to agree, since the cost savings aren't that much anyway it makes sense to me to spend the extra on a "real" modem and not have to thrash your CPU every time you need to go online, although I haven't looked at any performance figures for winmodems I imagine the CPU hit would be quite high.

Yours,
Ian.
