Controllerless ADSL Modems

[Alan Secker]

Has anyone yet managed to get a Controllerless (Winmodem) ADSL modem to
work with the 2.6 kernel. If so, I would be delighted to hear how it was
done.

I tried Patrick Mackinley's routines but got compile errors during
'Make' but couldn't identify whether there was a log file in which the
errors could be seen and identified.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
