Thanks, I didn't think anyone would respond so fast! hehe.. I've tried 2
PCMCIA modems so far, and neither worked. Both were Megahertz modems one
was a 28.8 and the other a 33.6 the 28.8 worked fine in Windoze and the 33.6
I couldn't get working in either. Any way to find out if the PCMCIA modems
are Winmodems?
