    I have i WinModem and i can`t query it while i`m connected ... thats normal. Disconnect, query it and check the info on the chipset it uses ... if it is for for example Rockwell HSF, its a WinModem, and if its HCF, its a 'Hard' modem

        Hmm I think it's a hardware modem as well. Winmodems have their DSP code stored in a file, hardware modems have them onboard (DSP Code Location: Internal ROM).

            Oh poop on it...

            it's a bloody Winmodem. It does have a DSP, but without a controller. The rom isn't flashable and it won't work in linux or DOS.

              Nope!

              Nope, my modem is classified as a 56K PCI Modem (tr11709)

              It won't work in DOS, but it's signed to work in Linux, says so on the box.
              Then again, on the box it also says 5 year warranty, and minimum P75. Then on the site it says 2 year warranty and P133, and if you look further it's even a P266

              If it will need a minimum of P266, then I agree it should be a winmodem. Unflashable, and do NOT use the WinME drivers, if anyone out there is using the same modem !!

                  Chipset

                  Ambient chipset of Cirruslogic. That wasn't easy to see
                  No mention of HCF or HSF anywhere on the chip or on the board.

                      Lion's teeth

                      No... the thing is upside down in my PC, and I had much trouble getting it in, so I don't want to go through all the trouble of taking out 2 other cards again to get the modem out, write down the numbers and put all cards back in. It's too damn hot and humid here to do more than just sit and try to stay cool

                      Maybe later, when the t-storms have hit and I have unplugged everything anyway (don't want to buy a new modem every 2 weeks), but not now. Sorry

                      Forgive my mood

                        That's ok...

                        didn't think you wanted to know the truth in the first place!

                        and I had much trouble getting it in
                        That's what she said! LOL

                          Well if you insist...

                          ...

                          Oh I can see you figured out how to delete posts now! LOL (inside joke)

                          edited cause Jord deleted his post (and he wonders why I deleted a thread (I had started) lastnight after he posted more dribble.

                            At work we have sold tons of internal modems...

                            And the only way to see if they are HW or SW is if they offers DOS suport.

                            The exactly same amount of chips, resistors, capacitators etc etc.

                            Even the exact same numbers and letters on the chips!!!!

                            The only use for a winmodem is to toss them from a high building when Bill Gates are passing by on the street!!

                              Some winmodems work in linux now e.g. Lucent Technolgies, which works in BeOS too.
