Yay, that's indeed unexpectedly good news (as opposed to any other
source I have seen, which would invariably say that the software modem
does not and will likely never work).

True, I don't need dial up on my notebook right now, but who knows
what happens in the future. So, I fired up wvdial and to date I had no
success (modem not responding). But then I should probably be more
persistent.

Just to eliminate one potential problem though: I assumed that the
modem is like any other on /dev/ttyS0 and I created /dev/modem
accordingly. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Stefan
