Bingo, Lucifer Technologies! Combine that with the so-called Winmodem game and you are asking for troubles with the newer OS's. Either:
A) go to a generic modem driver
B) get another modem
C) keep playing around with that puppy until it works
(I'm sure it ultimately will)
I have three winmodems that I just played with after reading your post. One of them is giving me trouble right now. It's a Lucent product. Older granted, but problematic none-the-less. And I am even using the Pro version of the OS. I am sure that I can futz around and get it working, but I'm a tech. For an average user, it just might be a bit of a task.
Long ago started advising my clients away from winmodems. They work fine ultimately, but every Windows upgrade seems to provide new hardware challenges for these products.
Seems like I had a Lucent modem a few years back.. Solution was to replace. The generic(?) driver included in WinXP and the one I downloaded from Compaq were the same.
Can't do DSL where I live... phone lines are too old and degraded.
Thanks for the input!!!!
