[PLUG] Intel 536ep...

[Darkhorse]

I got it for $13 thinking it's an intenal hardware modem that can
do voice.  Intel's Linux driver for this modem doesn't support 
voice, but there's Windows software that supposedly will.

I went to linmodems.org and asked about voice support.  Supposedly
there's code for this that is in the driver, but it has never
been tested.  I know next to nothing about low level serial
programming let alone Intel's controllerless hardware modem.
It's a winmodem with a DSP chip, yeah confusing.  I looked
on Ebay for a true hardware voice modem.  I was looking at 
a weird brand external with serial port connection for $50
or so by the time you ship it E-Bay auction.  
No idea if it works under Linux.  A name brand U.S. 
Robotics 56k external voice modem was selling for 
nearly $100 on E-Bay.  Over priced comes
to mind.  I just sold a 33.6 external U.S. Robotics
for $10, no shipping.

The guys at linmodems.org want to know if I'm going to try
to get my pci modem with the Intel 536ep chipset doing voice
under Linux.  I have no idea how to accomplish that.

If you have an HCF type winmodem with voice support, a linuxant
driver will have you answering your phone in no time.  I have
an HSF winmodem with voice, no good.
