winmodem 

A type of modem that relies on a computer's CPU, software, and the Windows operating system to work. Winmodems are known to be system resource hogs, and usually come with buggy drivers causing system instability.

Though Winmodems are intended to be used with the Windows operating system, there are Linux drivers available. Regardless of what you may read or hear, Winmodems are not real modems.

Controller-based modems are superior to Winmodems because they don't rely on your computer's CPU or operating system to work.

asterisk 

asterisk is open source PBX software designed for the Linux operating system.

asterisk eliminates the need of buying hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of dedicated PBX hardware.

Aside from Linux, asterisk also runs on various other operating systems, including: BSD, OS X, and now the Windows operating system using "AstWind" package.

Admin: We need a PBX for our organization, but we're kinda low on cash to buy expensive PBX hardware...

Assistant: No problem! Use asterisk, the open source Linux PBX.

Admin: I feel so stupid...

windows 

An operating system that destroyed the internet as we know it. When Microsoft introduced Windows 95, they opened the door for the scums of the internet.

Windows is like a Jaguar. They're both high priced, and they're both unreliable.
