modem question and modem string wanted
modem question and modem string wanted
Is it ok to have an isa modem and pci modem installed at the same time? I have a dual boot system. 98se and xp. 98se and puppy Linux live cd does recognize my ISA modem (cl-md56xx cirrus logic) Windows xp does not. However, xp does recognize the ESS 1868 ISA sound card. I hope that does not mean, I have to reinstall XP, so it will recognize my modem. I did try the standard modem trick As far as the string wanted For 98se What is the string to mute the modem volume and show the connection speed, not the port speed. Greg |

Do yourself a favor and get a computer that was manufactured this decade, and subscribe to a broad-band internet service. My computer can handle up 500 mb of memory, because of tech broke one the plastic plug. It can only handle 256 mb stick at the most. The stick order does not matter, from what I have read. My computer was a business system built by Compaq and was giving to me, when the business upgraded to xp. However, this system has 2 isa slots. 5 pci slots 2 on board 1.1 USB slot 1 pci slot is using a ragepro pci graphic card. 1 pci slot is using a usb 2.0 pci card 1 pci slot is for a pci modem that went bad I order another one. 1 pci using is used for a Network Adapter 1 pcl slot empty (This maybe a AGP slot, not sure) 1 ISA slot is used for an E1868 ISA sound card 1 ISA slot is used for an cl-md56xx cirrus modem currently. 5 bay drive (Never could get a second hard drive or a second cd drive to work correctly). I have been running xp and 98se for a long while. Xp is a little slow, but that because of my memory. That does not bug me. I am used to slow systems. As far is getting a computer, do you want to send me $500.00 walmart gift card? I am kidding of course. I will be glad to get a computer if you did that. I still would have to buy a USB modem and install a floppy drive. My system I would love to have Would be W7 (I hate the new desktop and start menu, that is a turn off) or Vista With a floppy drive, DVD/cdrw burner drive Access to the Bios menu needed. So, I can choose the boot order. One site said xp does not have ISA bus. If that was the case, my ISA sound card wouldn't work. The only reason I got xp, is so I can use flash to pay my bills. Greg |

As evidenced recently some of our more rural cousins do not have the luxury of broadband access. Evidence points to lack of spending $$$ and not necessarily lack of broadband coverage, as indicated by running XP on ancient hardware. |
