I'm inclined to think you have a Winmodem as well. You can alo get this information by going to Hyperterm or a similar terminal-like program which allows you to use your modem. If you can do this it's rather easier to record the output of the following set commands: ATZ ATE1 ATI1 ATI2 ATI3 ATI4 ATI5 ATI6 ATI7 Tap <ENTER> after each command. Some will most likely return errors bur it's important to record what you get as this will help me to determine the type of modem you have. You may email me directly.
