Well, after a half day of fiddling (wasn't worth the effort!) I finally got
the Quatech drivers installed.  To do it I had to remove the twin 16750 card I 
use and replace it with one that had two 16650s on it.  THEN the Quatech
drivers could find all three ports, and my modem would work AT ALL.

I ran it that way for a couple of days.  My connect speeds jumped all the way
from 45333 to... 45333, just as I expected!  OTOH, I didn't have any real
problems while online. I haven't had any with SIO either, nor do I expect any.

Then I needed VMODEM, and the Quatech drivers were history and the dual 16750
card went back in.

That's quite true, altho given Kris' level of understanding, there is simply
no way anyone will convince him.

Good luck in the attempt, tho! :^)
