PCI=WinModem=Only Works with Win95. Get a real modem.
If I may suggest you can get the Phoebe CMV1456VQH-X internal
or the CMV1456VQE-X external. For all practical purposes thse
modems are US Robotics workalikes. They have Texas Instrument
Chip Set (X2/V.90) just like the USR's, and they make all the
USR Noises. Work fine Linux/DOS/Win95/98. In fact, you do
not even need the Phoebe Drivers unless you want their voice
features; they work fine with the USR/3COM Sporster driver.
I get 52,000 connect speed with them.
But be SURE you get the right model, Phoebe has a lot of junk
out there as well. I paid $41 and $53 respectively for
internal and externals. Cable not included.

Phoebe Gin (Name is a coincidence!!) and she will take your
order for the Phoebe modems. Hi-Tech is a dealer.
This last summer, two manufacturers came out with PCI modems
that are not WinModems. However, they still need special
drivers, and one of them is vaporware. There is one LinModem
on the market, not recommended.
