Comment Real topic "Patent Pending" ! (Score 1) 144

When you have a short look at the source you will very fast discover that there is a lot of binary only stuff in the mwave directory called something.dsp. I guess these are the DSP based algorythms for implementing the different Modem protocols as the names let guess. IIRC the different protocols like V.34 and V.90 contain patented stuff so we will NEVER (Next 18 Years) see really open Winmodem drivers. I dont think the low number of saved transistors are worth this hassle - So please stop using winmodems. Glue he patented stuff into Hardware.

PS: Patents are evil but better stick them into hardware as HW is not really interesting to copy anyways.
