Here's my question: Is this merely a PnP modem, or one of those dreaded WinModems?? If so, you're SOL ... the "It works fine under Win95" sounds suspicious to me. Does it work in DOS (not a DOS window, command line type DOS.) If yes, then there is hope. If no, then there is not. I fought with a WinModem a little over a year ago as a tech and it was frustrating - I hate them and I won't buy them. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 phone: (605) 334-4454 fax: (605) 335-1173 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
