Hi Walter,

You must be posting one of these messages each day :-)

Anyway, if you have Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you don't need to do
anything special to get your modem working. If you have any other
incarnation of Windows, you may need to get a replacement comms driver
(e.g. cybercom.drv) in order to make use of 16550 UARTS in your system .
BTW, there is no specific "modem driver" for modems under Win 3.x

As for Win 95 "drivers", I've written to you about that already. You
will be looking for an .INF file for your modem, not drivers. If your
modem is generic Rockwell (likely), choosing a standard modem type when
you install your modem should be fine. If you run DOS or Win 3.x comms
apps under Win95, whether the .INF file is appropriate or not is
irrelevant because non-Win95 comms apps bypass TAPI anyway.
