The SoftModem Assistant is a program installed as part of Agere's SoftModem software, to permit complete configuration of soft modem devices. So-called ""soft modems"" are ones where some of the processing necessary to use the modem is done not by the modem hardware but by a program such as SoftModem. Thus, this program is necessary if you use such a device.http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/agrsmmsg.exe.html
