Windows 2000 doesn't recognize either of my modems

Install it manualy with the good drivers. Goto controle panel => add/remove hardware and there you say don't scan for new hardware but this will give you the possibility to add the hardware manualy.

I cannot do what you said "Don't scan."
It just scans...

It might scan for PnP devices, but you can bypass that by clicking "No, device is not in list".  It will let you add any device manually.

I manually installed the recent software from digicom. It's modem blaster di5600. W2k still doesn't dial... So I bought another modem. Damn!
I couldn't wait for the compatible driver to come out...

My old 56k GlobalVillage ISA modem wouldn't work in my new $1900 computer.  Went out and got a $70 ActionTec PCI non-Winmodem.  Windows 2000 had native support for it.  Pretty peachy!

Depending on the modem Win 2K will not recknizise it until the Mfg. posts a new driver for Win 2K. Many HSP Modems and USB modems cannot be seen by win 2K. My new Diamond USB modem is also one of these. If you purchase a new modem be sure the Mf. has drivers that support W2K.

Problem is not solved.
I want my points back.
Thanks for all who tried to help me though.

Waiting for a new driver to come out is not the answer to my question. Anyone would know one can wait until a new driver will come out.
What I'm asking is if there is any way to get around this problem "WITHOUT A NEW DRIVER" to come out. I bought another modem several day ago. I can't wait. So is there any way to use the modem?
Any manual configuration method...?
There should be one.

I guess you never got it to work?  Funny thing, I had a customer come in today, said guy put Windows 2000 on his machine and he tried two modems and both didn't work under Windows 2000.  Pointed him to the one I use: Actiontec PCI Call Waiting Modem.  Windows 2000 actually has native (built-in support) for it.  You should have seen him grab that puppy off the shelf! =)
