Thanks Lanman - for all the links and the time it took - but sorry to say I've already been that route and have been pointing out two of those links for several years to "noobs" already - I just keep ending up at the Linuxant site where I'm prompted to pay for a driver; my modem cost about that much - and after some discussion with THE BETTER HALF, I think we're just going to get a nice external modem because the philosophy behind "buying a modem then buying a driver" doesn't sit too well with either of us. Being that I haven't spent much time inside of 10.0 OE MYSELF and haven't had the chance to hack around a bit, and seeing as though the device driver code requires a "license", I might give it a go at hacking through the code a tad bit FOR MY OWN LEARNING so that I can locate and remove the license code generation crap and possibly have a driver that can be a fully functional fax and modem that isn't limited to 14.4k (how bloody damn stupid is that shit?) ...and if anything else, I think the days of "modems" in our house is coming to an end. I can't function properly over dialup what with all the Windows updates I have to get for customers - it's getting slightly more than ridiculous... stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Certified virus-free since we don't use Microsoft products A world is supported by four things: the teaming of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous, and the valor of the brave.
