Actually there are more than 4 NAS vendors. I can think of 7 offhand and I'm
sure there are more than that. However there are to my admittedly limited
knowledge only 4 manufacturers of chipsets for modems, Lucent, Rockwell, TI
and Cirrus (woops forgot PCTel if you can call that a modem so that makes 5).
I don't know about Cirrus but in all other cases it appears that the modem code
is written by the manufacturers and adapted by the modem manufacturer by doing
things like adding their name. So aplying your argument it would actually be
simpler for the NAS manufacturers to fix their end.
