| 38614 | 2002-03-10 21:38:00 | Operating a 486DX50 with 20mb Ram (we were given it!!). Haven't updated modem driver at all because when I go into hardware profiles all it says is 'standard modem'. Is there any way that I can find out the modem type and update the driver? Many thanks |

You just search for any of those things and if you found the FCC number just use the FCC database to find out what it is and who makes it. |
