Interestingly, I've installed two modems here in Win95, and one at a
friend's place, all different, (Maestro 144M, Courier, Dynalink Fastcard+),
and Win95 "detected" all of them as "Generic 28.8",
(even the Maestro!).

"Afterthought" was the word I was thinking of :-)

:-)

Oh yeah, found what would have to be one of the dumbest bugs in Win95 a few
weeks ago. I only mention it here as it is modem related :-)

You know that in Modem Properties -> Advanced, you can get Win95 to
record a log file, which records any TAPI application's use of the modem.
Great idea, terrible implementation.

Apart from the fact Win95 censors the actual phone numbers dialed in the
log file, (making cost calculation undoable), the file actually has a size
limit!

Once this straight ASCII text file get's to 256Kb in size, that's it.
Nothing more will be written to the file. You get no warnings, no nothing.
Unreal! Even a three line QBasic program can write to a text file megabytes
in size, yet Win95 falls over at 256Kb :-(

What more can you say .... ??
