| 259358 | 2004-08-08 05:36:00 | Yes GF, I’ve done the physical modem removal and reboot trick, even cleaned the registry with Nortons SystemWorks and Microsoft Reg cleaner between installation attempts, but I guess I just haven’t found the correct driver . Mind you, windows refers to the modem as a “PCI Serial Controller” and when I point Windows to the folder I’ve unzipped the driver into I get the message “Windows was unable to locate driver for this device etc etc . Is there a programme that will get the electronic identification of the modem? I haven’t changed slots yet so I’ll give that a try . Can't help thinking I've missed something obvious . |

| 259360 | 2004-08-08 05:44:00 | Get your magnifying glass out again and try here at Modem Help (www.modem-help.com). I've yet to come across a working modem that this site or links within it can't ID and point to drivers, if available. They also give good info about known problems with particular modems, chips and drivers. Cheers Murray P |

| 259362 | 2004-08-08 07:44:00 | Well guys the good news is it’s all go now and the answer was??????? OK, the telepermit reference said it was a Aztech MDP3858 Internal fax modem, fine and there’s heaps of drivers available for that type of modem but alas none worked. The board itself said the modem was MDP38586P-A and there was a couple of drivers for this type of modem that didn’t work. However, as I replied to GF it occurred to me that checking the Modem with “Everest” might be worthwhile and that revealed that Electronically it was in fact a Aztech MDP3858SP-A SVD Modem. Loading the correct drivers for this type of modem fixed things. I guess the moral of the story is don’t put too much faith in what is registered with Telepermit or written on the board. Good work “Everest” !!!!!!!! So thanks everyone for your input. Bob |
