A search through the WindowsXP directory brought to light that the very old file alcaudsl.sys is still there. Not a suprise as I used the installation disk from 06-06-2002 to load the speedtouch driver under WindowsXP after I had installed WindowsXP. So I suppose it is the one used by WindowsXp. file: /Windows/C/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/alcaudsl.sys md5sum: 8080b5ea17a763bbce6c92bbc6ceefe8 The firmware files that I have been using for years for all Linux distributions are: /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin md5sum: be58aef97d8435dce070c96574c06564 /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin md5sum: 4dc23adb72007919f30d50ebcf222f8a I tried to find the .inf files that contain the words you mentioned using search commands like: grep -rsiH modem /Windows/C/WINDOWS/* | grep -rsi option grep -rsiH DSL /Windows/C/WINDOWS/* | grep -rsi Max but none had anything the like. I only find the files /Windows/C/WINDOWS/inf/oem8.inf /Windows/C/WINDOWS/inf/oem9.inf that contain words like speedtouch or alcatel. So, as a consequence, I do not find any parameter information. Suppose I boot into WindowsXP, is there some manner in which I can retrieve information about the parameters you mentioned?
