I've had a similar experience on this end with 3Com USR modems I still
have
a 14K USR external modem laying around here somewhere! I'm presently
using
a USR 56K external Faxmodem model #5686 on a dual boot Linux/Win98
Hewlett
Packard Pavilion. The elcheapo $2 software modem lasted me about a week
after I unwrapped my "prize". HP is definitely not the company it was
ten
years ago, I bought this box for the name and features. It took me a
week
or two to get the all in one Intel 810 chipset video mess going! I
haven't
even started on trying to get the audio working! Guess I'll get an all
purpose
run of the mill audio card to stick in the box.
HP is a joke nowadays!
