Writing a driver for WinModems can be an interesting exercise in itself.
This would require (probably) some mathematics and some knowledge of how
to do dsp processing. The question is whether the corresponding literature
is available.
I don't have any of these cards but would be glad to help once the
development begins. I think getting a used one should not be too
expensive.
