Thanks a lot, that's more than expected !

I'm quite aware of that, and it's understandable considering the
numerous active patents still covering such algorithms.

Still, those binary blobs ain't necessarily encrypted, most of those
I've seen contains interesting symbols in clear text.

That's what I was thinking of. Basicaly, any winmodem driver could do
the trick as long as we can extract the raw audio feed and disable the
hardware line interface driver part.

The problem is, I'm not comfortable with driver coding, neither am a
good coder anyhow. There's plenty of existing GPL code that could be
glued together, though.

Thanks a lot ! Hope I will have a chance to mention you on the "credits"
page as soon as we get it to work !
