Hi David, The core contains the commands and interface code to drive the modem. (And likely firmware blobs for full-on softmodems.) In otherwords, all of the goodies we'd need to know to write a driver ourselves. DKMS is simply a way to keep kernel modules automatically updated as kernel versions update. The audio dependency is there for the series of modems (such as the 11c1:1040) which are piggybacked on some audio cards. Also, it is present for the AgrMdmDaemon to provide dialling noises. To my knowledge, these drivers do not support "voice". You might have some luck if you use USB sniffing tools to capture the modem's operation under Windows, and are able to determine the control codes. Best, Bjorn.
