"ltmdmnt.sys"... Lucent Modem.. XP Crash

[gnome]

Recent XP OS patch => BSOD crash.

Problem isolated to Lucent WinModem and its driver.

Easiest solution is to replace modem.

Went to Best Buy and bought a "Broadxent" cheapo modem... Creative Sound Blaster makes it. Driver is "ESS Technologies"... who the Hell ever heard of them??

A few years back I made an emergency run to Best Buy for a modem for my W98 trader... Got a cheapo with ESS driver...

The ESS modem has run flawlessly for 5 years and is the fastest dial-up I've got. Probably cost $10 last time... $20 after rebate this time. (I've got a $100 US Robotics modem that runs slower)

Thanks to all who offered input!!!!!!!!!

ESS Technologies is a major player as an OEM to folks like IBM and Dell.

Good to hear your all fixed up.
