Hi,
The qrtp patch A does not detect my internal PCI modem. What should I do?
Its a 56Kbps Blue Thunder Host Accelerated Modem DISHAM56 (www.dism.com)
with Ambient Technologies MD5628 chipset. I could not find any info in the
knowledge base.
Assistance appreciated.
TIA.

Dis site says “using cpu…etc for performance” is this a win modem
manque? It also says usable on Linux which would imply it is not.

Not necessarily. Linux does have a WinModem driver see:
http://linmodems.org/
I haven’t looked at the sources yet, but it would be a good project for
anybody wanting to port a high demand piece of software (given the number of
requests for WinModem support on RTP).

I’m not sure if its a winmodem. but on the box it says…
Host Accelerated Modem (HAM)
Other Features:
- Merges benefits from s/w and hardware modems
- Uses host’s CPU without degrading performance
- Distributes functions optimally b/w CPU and DSP
- Compete with s/w modems
etc…
How do I check whether its a winmodem or not?

Host Accelerated… that’s pure marketing genius!
We should try to promote our Vesa and SVGA graphics drivers as being
“Host Accelerated”.
I wonder if HAG is already a registered trademark

Thas sure sounds like a WinModem to me. Anytime it requires stealing CPU
cycles to process modem functions, it’s a WinModem. “Host Accelerated” and
“Uses host’s CPU” set off big red warning lights. If you want to ensure that
you don’t get a WinModem, buy an external modem that hooks to your RS-232,
those are usually a safe bet.
According to: http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html Your modem is
under the “controllerless” category, meaning that although the DSP does most
of the number crunching, it still requires the host CPU to handle some high
level management functions. The good news is that it seems to be supported
by linmodem, so there’s still hope for a port of the software some day.

Mmmmm ham. “the other white meat”!
Sorry couldn’t resist.
