Hello Peter,
 Thank you for your reply, which I quote in part below:

 AS> I have a Spirit SMI 14400 modem which I use quite successfully with
 AS> Win95 to access the Internet using Dial-Up-Networking, access BBSs with
 AS> an assortment of Win3.1/Win95 software but........

 PO> Please tell me how to go about this, as I have a friend who has one
 PO> which he can't get to work under Windoze 95. If we can get it to work,
 PO> then he may get it repaired so that it works, (if you know what I mean,
 PO> do you?) :-) 

 The problem with the Spirit SMI is that the old Soft Modem manager does not
agree with Win95. There is a new driver available which I am using. It is
readily available or if you like I can e-mail it to you as an attachment.
The file is only 200kb or so; let me know.

  You also mentioned:

 AS> I have an intermittent problem where the modem connects but I get a
 AS> blank screen.This is most noticeable with Hyperterminal both in its
 AS> bare bones state and the Hilgraeve update.

 PO> Please tell me more about the Hilgraeve update, please.

   The company which made Hyperterminal for Win95 have released an update
which adds several new features such as auto-zmodem download: still not
a world shaking package but an improvement anyway. You can download it
from their WWW site at:
               http://www.hilgraeve.com

  Hope that helps,
                        Andrew.
