Question

Old Rockwell 93 Modem requiring dip switchs

Asked by: fenex

The modem that I have in my 486 computer. One of the chips says
RC144DPI
R6645-20
(C) Rockwell 93
9444 a61319-3
the other chip says
C39
r/U-at
(c) Rockwell 93
9441 A60141-2

This computer was bought used and I was told that the modem was working. However I did notice that the dip switches were not set. I do not have the manual to set it up. I have run into many errors and have exhausted all searches. I believe that the problem is the dip switches. I do not have the disks to reinstal the modem.

Can someone please help. I am very frustrated.

Thanks I was at this site and they did not list my modem. They suggested that I call one of the manufactures listed. As I did not see a phone number for Rockwell I did not know which company would be similar.
Would you be able to help me regarding the company.

How many dip-switches are there?

Are there any labels silk-screened onto the board?

Are the dip-switches in one group, or two groups?

It's a 14400 modem; it may be simpler, though more expensive, to just buy a newer/faster modem.
For example, Supra sells 56K modems for about $50 -- purchase the model which is listed as "works with Windows NT" or "works with Linux", to avoid purchasing a "winmodem".  A "winmodem" would use some cycles from your 486 CPU to function; you don't want to do that.

I have 7 dip switches all in the same row.
I went to a computer store and was told that the type of modem that I would require they did not sell.

Since then I found a computer store that caries used equipement and for $20 purchased a Motorola Lifestyle 28.8 modem however they were unable to provide me with the driver. I am now looking the drivers  on the internet not an easy task.
