When the TripleTalk came out, I wrote them volunteering to write a drive for it. I never got a reply. Incidentally, I just finished returning a U.S. Robotics USB modem because it turned out to be a Winmodem - that is, it only works in conjunction with software running on the host, and U.S. Robotics only supplies a Windows version of the software. The U.S. Robotics technical support lady told me that all their USB modems are Winmodems. The TripleTalk may work the same way. - Jim Van Zandt >From: Mario Lang >Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2003 12:49:09 +0200 > >Cj Sampson writes: > >> You may want to consider the more modern Triple talk usb. > >As far as I remember, the Triple-Talk producer did not want people >to write Open Source drivers for that.
