Of course, the notion of synthesizing modem signals in software on the system's main CPU has not one damn thing to do with Windows per se. It's just a very poor use of a general-purpose processor that has many more important things to do than waveform synthesis conforming to the (pseudo-) acoustic signaling specifications of dial-in modems.
