Proper 64-bit WinModem driver

When it would come out? Right now,
the driver would freeze the whole Vi$ta for
about 0.5 second whenever the WinModem goes
on or off hook......

Look for drivers at the WinModem manufacturers' websites. It won't come
from Microsoft since they don't manufacture modems.

But WinModem an idea from Micro$oft, isn't it?

I am feeling betrayal for buying a product based on a Micro$oft idea
that turn out to have no 64-bit future....

2. The manufacturer's website said I should use Micro$oft's
64-bit Vi$ta driver.

Sorry, but that's about normal for the
crappy WinModems, since they depend
on software drivers much more to run them.

"Regular" (hardware based) modem won't do
this if you can find one.
