[hcflinux] HCF USB Modem

[John Spray]

My apologies, I did not look closely enough to see that those drivers 
were only for ppc.

I now quote from the FAQ:

"""
*I have a USB HCF modem. Why don't you provide an x86 version of the 
hcfusbmodem package?*

Unfortunately the hcfusbmodem driver only supports the Cadmus2 chipset 
internally used by Apple in later generation PowerPC desktop and 
notebook machines. Most if not all external USB HCF modems on the market 
use an earlier chipset (Cadmus1), which requires too many workarounds 
and excessive polling by the CPU to be well supported under Linux.
"""

Relatively cheap external (serial) modems are available which will serve 
you well under many operating systems.  External USB devices are 
fetching decent prices on ebay.  I personally purchased a serial modem 
in addition to my controllerless devices, and have found it to be quite 
refreshing (it just works!).
