824033 2009-10-25 05:38:00 Today I bought a new entry level PC from PBtech. Nice box for her but after I got it I discovered that she is still on dialup won't go to ADSL. I tried an old PCI Speedcom modem but even after Windows update downloading a driver for it it would install. Her existing PC running Win XP has a modem so I will try that one tomorrow but in the even of it not being recognized are there will available modems that will work with W7 64bit??

Thanx in advance..

824034 2009-10-25 05:53:00 According to this site, this is (www.microsoft.com)

And so is this (www.microsoft.com 0Modem&v=USRobotics&uid=USR5699B&pf=1&pi=2&s=dialup%20modem&os=32-bit)

There's a few more Zoom and US robotics modems there, that have yet to be tested for x64

824037 2009-10-26 07:26:00 I upgraded to a US Robotics Modem when I upgraded to Vista 64 as it was the only decent modem with 64 bit drivers that I could find.

Modem is great, very fast and stable, even though I live in the country. Much better then my old Dynalink external modem and USB modems I have tried.

Drivers for the modem are on the Win 7 setup DVD so It was recognized and the driver installed during windows setup.

Should be no serial ports.

824040 2009-10-27 08:25:00 The modem was purchased from from C1 shopping mall. Which I understand is now defunct

My computer also has no serial ports. I purchased this (ST Lab I-341, PCIe-1, 4-Port Serial Card, 4x 9-Pin Serial Connectors)from Ascent which works fine with Vista/W7 64

824041 2009-10-27 09:55:00 I am using a Dick Smith 56k USB modem with W7. Installed by its self, didn't need the driver. Installs as USB and Com4 so can be picked up by early software. Only cost about $56. mzee (3324)

32 or 64 bit??

This is the replay when I asked DSE about their DSE 56K USB Modem v2.

"This product was not designed to be used with windows 7. Windows 7 was released to public last week, but our Product Develeopment people are looking into this and may come up with some solution for drivers for windows 7 in the near furure. At the moment drivers are available only for Windows 2000, XP and Vista."

You would have thought that since W7 RCs and RTMs have been around for 6 months or longer these companies would have W7 drivers out by now.
