The problem is that Winmodems have no brains. The count on the processor to handle all tasks for them and all functions are done in hardware.<br />
<br />
A couple of people have written drivers for very popular winmodems I have never seen yours on that list. Realy modems are cheap and you really don't want to put that kind of load on your processor anyway. &nbsp;Shanselman is correct.<br />

Well, it's not impossible, but it is a really bad idea. Like I said, a FEW drivers have been written for very popular modems, but *I* would not put one on my systems. When you can get a decent 56K modem with voice for $30 US (or a US Robotics for about $50 US), that Winmodem is just not worth the trouble.<br />
