New Incoming Modem Statistics
Data from May 7, 2007 by Jeff Trull
I took a big box of PCI modems from the card sorting room and counted them by manufacturer. Here's what I got:
37 Conexant 28 US Robotics (mostly AD1807JS) 13 3Com 9 Lucent/Agere 8 PCTel 5 Rockwell 4 Motorola 3 ESS Teledrive 3 Analog Devices AD1806JS 2 NEC 2 Cirrus Logic 2 Smartlink 1 Creative DS1820 1 Netodragon (?) 1 Ambient MD5628D
116 total
manufacturers marked in bold have known working Linux drivers. Of those, only Lucent/Agere and PCTel are currently shipped by FreeGeek. The ESS modems were taken to the store and I took the Smartlink modems for analysis to see if the _slmodem_ driver would work with them.
