Hmm... that's just great.  And the only software I got with
the boxes was the normal NT 4.0 CD and the SP3 CD.  In case
I have to reload it one day I suppose I'll have to make
those darned OEM "recovery" disks like it wants me to
(grin).  I hate doing that.  Prefer to just use the generic
MS CD's to reload.  But that may be where the modem driver
is I guess (on the hard disk only).  Sheesh, I hate
Winmodems.  I never even thought I had to verify what kind
of USR modem I was getting because I just "knew" that a
Winmodem wouldn't work on NT.  Yeah, right.  Buyer beware
and all that.  Darn!
Thanks for your input.
