345486 2005-04-16 02:31:00 I have a Pragmaatic PCI 56K Modem Model I56PSP - F40.

I have searched the internet for a driver with no luck.

Can anyone suggest where I get find or obtain the drivers?

Thanks Doug

345487 2005-04-16 04:43:00 Depends on your O/S.

I found tons of sites when I googled for it:

members.driverguide.com
www.modem-drivers.com
www.driverfiles.net
list.driverguide.com

etc etc

345488 2005-04-16 04:46:00 I would recommend DriverGuide out of the above list

I went there earlier this week for a Pragmatic modem driver F0 series, but its got other F-series drivers as well... that work too :D

You will need to create an account with them, but thats free so no worries :)

345489 2005-04-16 06:08:00 Thanks for the time you put into looking up the modem sites.

I couldn't find the exact driver and had downloaded and tried a couple without success.

How do I load the driver? I am using a different Modem [Lucent] at present.

I expect I will delete the present drivers, exchange modems in the computer.

The next part is where I get lost. XP picks up the new modem - do I direct the driver wizard to the file that has been created when I unzipped the driver file?

There doesn't appear to be any .exe file in the unzipped modem driver file.

Thanks Doug

345490 2005-04-16 06:14:00 If XP detects the modem but doesnt install the driver .

Once u install whatever modem .

Try going to the modem entry in device manager in XP, double click on it / driver tab, update driver, select no not this time / next, (might be a few more times u click on Next), and then point to the folder u unzipped the file to . It SHOULD let u install it from here .

The folder the zip file created, may have an inf file in it , this is what XP will look for .

Or do the same, as above . After u install the modem, boot up the computer .

As soon as XP detects the new modem, and brings up the wizard .

You are right of course. I hope to purchase a computer from work for my brother. The work computer doesn't have a modem. I brought the recent model PCI modem off Trademe, but it didn't come with a install disk.

I am trying to prepare for when the computer comes available. And unforunately I like to have a go at things and the small challenge of getting it to work.

All a bit of a worry really.

Thanks Doug

Conexant have absorbed the PCTel modem chipset business and supply a generic driver for the PCTel 1789 chipset here conexant.com
