The term 'winmodem' came from the first (to my knowledge) software modem - the 'Lucent WinModem'.

*duh*

Back in the days of bbs's I had a rockwell 14,400bps software modem. It was built specifically for dos. It came with its own dos terminal program. As long as you used that terminal it was a screaming fast 14,400bps modem.
However if you used any other dos terminal such as Qmodem it worked as a regular 9600bps modem.

Under windows it worked as a 9600 modem (actually would usually connect at 4800 or 7200 under windows). It was definitely not a winmodem.

Mojo:
I stand corrected.

Master of Reality:
i had a modem for my commodore 64, cant remember how fast or if i actually ever used it. i also jsut happen to have a burnt out 9600, and a 14.4k modem that can run at 9600 for windows.
