> Michael I have two Actiontec 33.6 modems that will work with Arachne and many other DOS programs, but they won't work from a "DOS-box" and they won't work in native DOS mode. In order to get them to work with DOS I have to first start Windows and then click on START > SHUT DOWN > RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE. These modems will work in DOS only in a "restarted in MS-DOS mode". It is a great mystery to me as to why they won't work in a Windows "DOS-box". Weird. Sam Heywood
