I dunno, George ... I've told ya about HOW to fix this dead horse (going to 
Zoltrix's WWW site and following the leads to get to their driver section) 
but ya keep looking for another answer.  There ain't one, m' friend ... there 
ain't one that's gonna replace putting IN the drivers (obtainable from 
www.nb.rockwell.com/ref/rpi/winrpi.html) and no one here is gonna  take you 
by the hand and do it for you ...
Here's from the RPI driver doc's ...

1.2. ISA Plug and Play Installation Procedure
  1. Run the SETUP program from the distribution disk.
  2. Turn off the PC, insert the ISA modem, turn on the PC.
  3. Windows 95 will detect the new modem and request an INF 
     file. Install the INF file provided. Select RPI+ or RPI
     modem.
System modificatoions during WinRPI95 installation
After installing WinRPI95, the Window's system directory contains the 
following files:
   * ROKRPISH.VXD
   * ROKHOOK.VXD
   * ROKV42.VXD
and they are referenced in the windows registry.  The system.ini file is not 
touched by WinRPI95 installation.
2. WinRPI95 de-installation procedure
The WinRPI95 can be de-installed by using the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in 
the Control Panel. The icon can be located by clicking on "Start" then on 
"Setting " then on "Control Panel" and then "Add/Remove Programs".
3. INF Files
The modem INF files provide information to the comm applications about the 
modems.  For example, one piece of the information provided by the INF files 
is the required initialization string . ROKALF15.INF contains the INF 
information for the RPI and the RPI+ class modems. To use the RPI and the 
RPI+ modems with the Registry aware comm applications, the user must 1) 
install the INF into  the Registry using the Modem icon as describe above and 
(2 select either  the RPI or RPI Plus modem from the list presented by the 
application.
4. Initialization string selection
The following AT initialization strings are needed for those comm 
applications that do not take advantage of the Registry. Almost all of the 
Window 3.1 comm applications fall into this category. The "direct" mode of 
the Win32 comm applications also falls into this category. The following AT 
commands should be issued before calling or answering using these comm 
applications.
For RPI+ modem: AT&C1&D2&K3+H11
For RPI modem: AT&C1&D2&K3+H3S95=1
The user can determine whether the modem is a RPI or RPI+ modem by issuing an 
ATI3 to the modem. See the RPI FAQ.
A RPI modem will have the following string in its response:
ROCKWELL RPI (TM) MODEM
A RPI + modem will have the following string in its response:
ROCKWELL RPI (TM) MODEM+
Note the "+" near the end of the string.
5. Known Bugs
  1. Manual hang up (i.e., "+++" followed by "ATH") in QmodemPro
     or Hyperterm's direct mode sometime does not work properly.
     The work around for now is to use the hang up feature in 
     the menu provided by the program.

Go pick up the drivers and the documentation and I think you'll 
be all set to run your Zoltrix modem...
