Having fought with 'linmodem', 'lt-modem', etc, I agree. Not only is it slow, it has a rough time sync-ing up to the incoming carrier. You could rework the source code quite a bit and never achieve a fast and robust phase-lock!<BR>
<BR>
I'll dump it once and for all.<BR>
<BR>
'Zoom' and $49.95 looks like a good option.<BR>

check out linmodem. I got my modem working in my Compaq using that<BR>
project. I downloaded the drivers and only get 14.4k. That is the<BR>
highest speed you are allowed on the "free" version of the drivers. I<BR>
think the paid version is $20 and you get up to 56k.<BR>
<BR>
Even then it was just too flaky and the software modem does not like<BR>
talking to older devices with hardware modems. I've abandon it and<BR>
have a very nice Multi-Tech USB ZDX. I've not ran across a device I<BR>
can't talk to. However, brand new this modem lists for $125. <BR>
