I got a request from a (US) psychiatrist that m-o-o-t (m-o-o-t is a CD that boots on your computer, and does secure things) should include an implementation of VOIP, to allow his patients to securely connect to his server. I think they are mostly servicemen or spies, but so what.
Voice Over IP? I wouldn't bother and it sounds unlikely that anyone would use this.
It's actually easy to do a version that will do that, and if you're listening, I'll do it soon, and for free to you only :) - but m-o-o-t is based on OpenBSD, and isn't that good at modems. Linux isn't that good either...
The problem is that the usual, everyday, modem is _only_ supported by Windows... which thereby gains a competitive advantage, based on it's monopoly position.
No it's only winmodems which are supported only by windows. Winmodems are found often in cheap laptops. Acually some winmodems are supported by linux http://www.linmodems.org/ although not by OpenBSD -- Steve
