I just received an e-mail from Eric Bentley, the developer who wrote the current OS/2 drivers for the Lucent Winmodem.

==========

Dan,

Sorry for the lack of info. I have taken a new job with an OS company (Be) and have not had any time to spare. Also, I have to get this work approved as it might constitute a competitive product. Either case, it looks like it will be awhile if at all.

Please, don't shoot me .. I'm only the messenger.

But I thought you'd like to know what is happening (or in this case, not happening) with the updated drivers.
