Not sure about today, but a couple of years ago, Corel Computer tried to
incorporate a software modem into the Netwinder. They had all the hardware
there, but ended up removing it because the algorithms are patented if you
want to do anything over 9600 baud (which of course requires a payment to
the relevent license holder).
