    Ahem. I thought you wanted voice, not data.

    Try the Zoom v3 http://www.zoom.com/products/voip_products.html it provides an RJ11 socket, just connect any normal telephone into and it works - even behind a NAT. I have the Zoom X5v which has a built in ADSL modem, I use it with a DECT cordless phone and voipbuster (set the SIP proxy address and domain to stun.voipbuster.com) for free calls around most of Europe, USA, Canada and Australia. Works really well.

  3. Re:One hardware driver one from way back. by packetl0ss · · Score: 1 · on Device Drivers Filled with Flaws, Pose Risk
    Since the time that they felt like cutting costs in modems by reducing the actual features they provide in the hardware itself and emulating those features in cheaper software ("drivers") that use the system's CPU power for them, such as what they did back during the "RPI" modem days.

    "Rockwell Protocol Interface (RPI(TM)) is a technology that allows error correction and data compression (ECC) technologies to be performed in the PC host computer, rather than in the modem hardware, as has been done traditionally." ... "RPI lowers the cost of traditional modem hardware by redistributing the Error Correction and Data Compression (ECC) processing load from the modem to the host computer, eliminating the need for external memories (RAM and EPROM) and allowing lower cost controllers to be used. This drive to lower the component cost was strongly driven by modem vendors desiring to offer the lowest possible end user price."

  5. Re:What about Airport / 802.11b / WiFi? by frankie · · Score: 2 · on 1394 Trade Association Adopts FireWire Brand

    No. Airport is a brand name, just like ZoomAir, WaveLan, AirConnect, or AiroNet. Does that make it clear?

    Or are you still confused about the whole Kleenex/Tissue problem?

  6. Re:Cheap Fast Broadband?? by sredding · · Score: 3 · on Cheap Long Distance Wireless Networking

    The AirPort and Apple arent the only systems that go wireless. There are others that support IEEE 802.11 DSSS standard.

    Check out:
    ZoomAir
    BreezeNet
    SkyLine
    MaxTech

    ...among others.

    But you can easily remove this kernel option - or almost any other option.

    To remove IE, you need to brute-force it with a program like 98lite or Revenge of Mozilla.
