Dave, that's not quite correct, Win95 doesn't require a modem "driver", but 
programmes taking advantage of TAPI look for support from Win95 which, in 
turn, obtains the required details from an "information file" during the 
"detect hardware" phase.

Dave, Dave, Dave, you know better than that, don't you?  Time to change 
taglines, perhaps?
Cheers, Hans
