Thanks to all who replied. It's comforting to know that at least ISDN is still real hardware!
It ain't necessarily so :( Faxing with passive ISDN cards needs software to emulate the FAX modem. With semi-active or active cards you don't need software as the boards have their own DSP and processor to emulate a FAX modem in HARDWARE. And BTW, DSL adaptor cards do most of the DSL stuff in software too :( Philipp
