That never works. I was told be one person "search for it on c: or your
cd, that'll work" Yeah, if it did, I would have autodetected it by now. :/ The
only other way was to download /every/ driver and see what ones worked. But do
you realize how many obscure no-name pcmcia modem drivers there are out
there?!?!?
Oh well, I'll get my digital camera back from a friend and take pictures
of it and perhaps someone will identify it by seeing it.

Yeah, $100-$150 is appropriate. But a 100ct will do me nicely which is
going from a 70ct to a 100ct, not that much of a resource increace. Probably a
$100 difference. From a 50ct to a 110ct would probably be more of a $150
difference. Plus, you have to factor into the equation the fact that you keep
your HD, so you don't loose any capacity or have to re-install programs. A
70ct with a 2gb, or bigger, drive. That's worth something, I'd say $20, which
equals my $80 opening offer.
I'll throw in this modem for free. It'll be cooler than that condom ring
in the wallet, more techno, more 90's. You'll flip open your wallet and that
babe will be drooling over your fly laptop. Forget a Trojan, "See baby, I got
a Red Hat firewall in my pocket..." =D
