It depends on the chipset. Go to: www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html About half-way down the page, click on the "View the entire table" label, and then search out your particular model. Conexant shows up in a number of places in the list -- most of them are winmodems for which no cure has been found, but there are a few that will work with some effort on your part. (If you're using Netscape, the Find/Find Again function will speed things up.) In the meantime, be very nice to your roomie. Good luck, Carroll
