   I asked this on -hackers a little while ago but no response.  I'm curious
   if anyone has made an attempt to port these Winmodem drivers.

I did look into it, but concluded that it was pretty hopeless.  For
starters, the DSP routines in there seem to need the FPU, and FreeBSD
doesn't seem to allow that in the kernel.  Apart from that, almost
100% of the code is in the binary-only modules, including a lot of
Linux-specific code, which makes it very hard to see how the code is
supposed to interface with the kernel.
