At the time I last looked (about a year ago) there was no way to get 
multiple Intel/Ambient linmodems working in a single system.  I had 
contacted the Linmodem author about it, too.  However, at the same time 
development with the Lucent Linmodem driver was implementing a multiple 
device functionality, so if other Linmodems were following the same lead, 
I don't know.

I looked at that, too, and came to the same conclusion.  If you can hack 
code you may want to look at the way the Lucent driver does it and try to 
duplicate it with the Intel.

Yes, but still you're only going to ever get no more than 5 of these in a 
system.
