('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Could you please give a brief description of your DSL "modem"?
As most of the devices that are described by users as DSL "modems"
aren't modems, but rather are ethernet devices(usually an ethernet card installed in the actual client machine, leading to a hub, which then is connected to the phone "DSL" line).
I've worked with quite a few of these purportedly "windows only" devices only to find out that the only reason they're "windows only",
is the lack of knowledge, or lack of "official" support for anything other than windows.
