OK, now I'm totally confused. Ken says he knows folks who have the 600E
Mwave DSP running under Linux, using Lucent drivers. Steve says only the 240
and 600X are supported because both use Lucent modems.

I have a 600E and would dearly love to use the Mwave modem under Linux. Ken
(or anyone), if you know of a way to do this please let the list know.

Thanks.
