359341 2005-05-28 21:30:00 Whats the make/model of the modem? Speedy Gonzales (78)
359342 2005-05-29 02:46:00 thanks for taking the time :thumbs:

it is a Rockwell hcf 56k data fax pci modem


I downloaded a new driver after being advised by the windows installation that it did not have a drivers. I have installed them with no joy.. I have physically removed the modem and rebooted.. then shut down re mounted the modem card.. the usual " found new h/w" window pops up and the drivers wer installed... but hen came the "cannot find pci serial controller"

359343 2005-05-29 02:54:00 So you need the motherboard drivers. ;) The PCI serial interface is a motherboard thing. Graham L (2)
359344 2005-05-29 03:15:00 Hmm sounds similar to the one in this

Which is a Generic 56k HCF Data fax modem, which is a PCI data/fax modem .

XP installed these drivers tho . I would take the modem out and see if its got
something like 1456VQH-R3 on it, which means its a Dynalink modem . . .

If it shows something like this, the drivers are on the Dynalink site .

And nope theyre not mobo drivers . Theyre modem drivers .

359345 2005-05-29 03:19:00 But the error message says it's the "PCI serial controller" which is the problem. That will provide the interface which the modem card driver talks to. Graham L (2)
359346 2005-05-29 03:24:00 True but it relates to a modem driver, not the mobo drivers. Speedy Gonzales (78)
359347 2005-05-29 03:38:00 busy boys! thanks... I'm taking the modem out to get the numbers.... I know the mobo .. its acer v72ma.. I'm looking for drivers now.. not much joy as yet pc_rekka (125)
359348 2005-05-29 03:46:00 the modem card has little cept P/n 141211-424 rev.01a CE fc class b.. the telepermit sticker has been stuck over any barcode numbers on the flat side of the card.. there are two chinese hyroglyphics followed by 3892b605 on this flat side also pc_rekka (125)
