I do not know if the driver's implementation is crappy, but it has been 
working without a glitch for me for the last 3 years: first on Vario F809 and 
now on Vaio Z1XSP. Moreover, I had all kind of problems with windows driver 
when I was visiting Moscow last year, where most of the phone lines use pulse 
dial, and no prob. at all under linux. And after 2 years of use of their free 
variant of the driver, I hapilly payed the guys these 10$ for the commercial 
version which, I consider, they well deserved.
Cheers,
