Greatmood, Like Funk, I am also using the Diamond SupraSonic II modem. Information can be found at this link. diamondmm.com Shotgun is Diamond's software for combining a Diamond modem with another modem of any other manufacturer, internal or external. Actually any two modems can be used with Win 95 (requires Dial Up networking upgrade) or Win 98 (built-in). The advantage of the SupraSonic is that if you subscribe to 'call waiting', the modem will automatically drop the second line on the fly, when a call comes in. You can drop it manually when you want to make an outgoing call. I am not having as much luck as Funk with my modem as I have difficultly attaching the second line reliably. Tech support at Diamond are working with me on the problem. It is likely the problem is at my ISP's end ... Ascend options maybe. John

The modem i got from diamond is an internal. diamondmm.com You take a phillips head screwdriver, take the case off , unplug the phone wires from your modem, take out the one screw that retains the modem card, and yank it out. Put the dual modem in the same slot. easy. The only thing not to do is to wear socks and shuffle across a shag carpet before getting inside the 'pooter. Just touching your desk, before hand, would discharge the static. The modem can be used on one line, on one jack that is wired for a two line phone, or on two lines. I don't think the two isp trick would do you much good. look for an isp here... diamondmm.com To utilize this you would need to use an ISP that supports the dual line format. I pay my ISP like $26 / month and that covers BOTH lines unlimited use. Cheap! some ISPs also support multiple modems through windows NT, I have no experience using multiple modems that way. Best of luck to you. funk
