The mwave "modem" is softare driven and requires loading of software into it in order to work. If you look at your DOS/Windows config.sys file you will see that it loads a device driver which them in turn loads the DSP software into the thing (I think that how its works anyway). I have an IBM ThinkPad 755CD which has an Mwave modem/sound card in it. When I first got it the DSP software was for a 14.4 kps modem, which I subsquently upgraded to 28.8 kps modem by downloading a new set of software. All the sounds etc are also handled in a simillar way. On your Aptiva, there are two directories MWD & MWW which contain the software, sound samples etc. I thinks that to get the MWave working with BSD would be a on trivial exercise. Regards John Hartley.
