I put a US Robotics Sportster in my previous PC. The thing worked fine out of the box and never gave me any trouble. I later upgraded to a faster ZOOM modem. I had my hands full getting it to work. An e-mail to ZOOM brought a reply in a day which provided the proper setup strings. The ZOOM then worked, and still does over at a friend's house.

Funny thing though, I had a program from my bank which worked with the USR modem but I could never get to work with the ZOOM. ZOOM and nobody else could help me with it. (Not even the bank)

I now use a built-in modem supplied with my new laptop. I don't know who made it, but it works OK.

Cheers, PW.

Redcard, re >I have a HSP 56 Micro Modem in my computer. It is really a piece of junk<

Could you, please, elaborate? I have an eMachine
with the same modem. While it has never failed,
I am beginning to suspect it may contribute to
'congestion'. After a long time on the web, surfing
sometimes becomes very slow. I found that restarting
the PC sometimes fixes that.
