This is a set of Linux drivers for the ACP modem (Mwave), a WinModem.

public switched telephone networks (PSTNs) and support selected world
wide countries. This driver provides support for the IBM ThinkPad 600E.

(ttySx) and is compatible with the Hayes AT Command Set.

The application and driver have been seperated in different packages,
and the HOWTO has been updated.
