Here's my question:
Is this merely a PnP modem, or one of those dreaded WinModems?? If so,
you're SOL ... the "It works fine under Win95" sounds suspicious to me.
Does it work in DOS (not a DOS window, command line type DOS.) If yes,
then there is hope. If no, then there is not. I fought with a WinModem
a little over a year ago as a tech and it was frustrating - I hate them
and I won't buy them.
