Answer to
frankhelk: There is no windows 7 driver for this modem.

Arnold: I would much rather replace the modem than adding another USB item, have to many now.

I was just hoping that someone might know of a windows 7 modem that might replace this one. Just a long shot.

Not to sure how you would do that? "Why not try to set its driver to a standard 56modem "
because it will not recognize the XP driver. Looks like you would still need a windows 7 driver to do that.
I have a software that that can be used for sending and receiving Faxes, also can be used as and answering machine and calling out. Just thought I would put it to work.

thank you very much I will give it a try.

No luck, it still comes up this will only work on windows XP and will disconnect.

I guess I might just have to use a usb modem. I can not even find a replacement internal modem or a PCMCIA modem for windows 7

Your right they do have a lot of modems, the only thing is I found no PCMCIA modems for windows 7 and most of the modems shown are not for laptop. I already have a usb modem that will work, but I would have rather had the one in my laptop working, but that will never happen and it looks like they don't make any window 7 Pcmcia voice/fax modems anymore or never did.
