Installing Rockwell modem
I have a modem of unknown manufacturer that I am trying to install into a
friends PC for him. The chips on the modem show the following details: Rockwell RLVDL56DPF/SP R6785-61 and 11235-14 I cannot find a manufacturer code or any FCC details on the PCB. The problem that I am having is that I can find generic drivers for Rockwell / Conexant chipset modems, but when windows identifies that new hardware has been installed, it is coming up as a PCI card rather than a Rockwell / Conexant modem. This in turn means that when I try to install the modem drivers the setup program tells me that no modems are present in the computer. I have had the same problem in both Win98 and WinME and its driving me nuts trying to figure out. Any help greatly appreciated. |

You should not need any special drivers to use only the data functions of the modem e.g. internet access. I have used many V34 and V90 modems installed as generic devices, and even connected at V90 speeds on modems that were listed as V34 devices.

If I dont need any drivers, how do I get the PC to identify the card as a
modem? Mike Walsh wrote in message ... You should not need any special drivers to use only the data functions of the modem e.g. internet access.

The chips on the modem show the following details: Try installing the modem as a serial port first, reboot once or twice, and then install a modem on that port. I remember having to do this once or twice; there were also modems that required the software to be installed first, then when the card goes in the computer knows what it is (but without knowing who made the card that's out of reach). I wish I could be of more help. Jon |

You shouldn't really need that info, the two lines under "rockwell" above are enough to find a viable driver. The problem that I am having is that I can find generic drivers for Rockwell / Conexant chipset modems, but when windows identifies that new hardware has been installed, it is coming up as a PCI card rather than a Rockwell / Conexant modem. That's what it's supposed to do. It is considered a multifunction PCI device, which will eventually (via the driver) use a virtual com port... technically it's not a (hardware) modem "yet". This in turn means that when I try to install the modem drivers the setup program tells me that no modems are present in the computer. What modem driver? Are you SURE you're using the correct driver? Those are often called an "FM56-P". I "think" that's an HCF modem, but I could be wrong. I have had the same problem in both Win98 and WinME and its driving me nuts trying to figure out. Try the conexant modem id utility and let that lead you to the generic driver they offer, http://www.conexant.com/support/md_d...ssistance.html |

I should have said that you don't need drivers for a real (hardware based) modem. In that case hardware drivers are needed for the COM port, but not the modem. Windows will search for COM ports and then interrogate the COM ports to see what devices are attached. If it is a WinModem you will need the correct modem driver.
