Jason, thanks VERY much for your reply.  I have no driver sources 
for the Zoom (AT&T) LTMODEM.  For my oem PC-Tel modem I have a Linux 
kernel module which I have not yet tried.  Don't suppose that's of any use on NetBSD.  

I am especially confused about how the LTMODEM can be a winmodem 
when it has an on board UART and an on board DSP.  What hardware is missing?

If I buy another pci modem, how can I tell which ones will work 
on NetBSD?  Apparently having an on board UART, an on board DSP, 
and entries in pcidevs are insufficient to tell whether a pcimodem will work on NetBSD. . . .

Btw, somebody did a really TERRIFIC job imho on the photography 
and design concept for "Roads to Zembu" on your company's website. 
 If you know who did this fine work, please convey my respect and admiration.

Thanks again, 

Tom
