Hey guys,
As some of you Motorola SM56 Softmodem owners may be aware the drivers
supplied by Motorola do not work with any kernel newer than 2.4.5

Well, I recently e-mailed Motorola about the problem, and here is there
response.  I think it bodes badly for us, the consumers.

PS. Please CC me, I don't follow the list

Hello Jeff,

At this time, Motorola has decided to exit the software modem business.
Motorola also regards its intellectual property as an asset, albeit an
inactive one at this time and thus has no plans to release the source code for
any aspect of the SM56 modem, including the Linux version.

Thank you for contacting SM56 support.

Question=I wanted to know if Motorola was intending to release the code for
the Linux SM56 drivers.  I was given the impression by the Driver web site
that those drivers were no longer being maintained by Motorola
