Winmodem

[Rocky]

How do I tell if I have a winmodem? I have a Jaton Communicator V.90.
It doesn't really say if it is a winmodem.

hey Rocky

here's what they say about Jaton Communicator V.90.


ST Micro Chipset, USB 56K External Data, Fax, Voice, & Caller ID. Exciting features: Pager size, very low power comsumption. Comes w/ "Easy" Plug and Play installation, Great Modem for Notebook and Desktop Computer. Require a USB port interface. Support Window 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows 2000 !! Package: USB Cable, USB Communicator V90 Modem, CD driver and documentation disc.


edit: not sure it says 'chipset', but also "Micro" in front of that, which usually- means a software modem. Someone else may be more sure. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

USB 56K External Data,

External...As far as I know no external winmodem has been made. If this is an external modem, chances are it's not a winmodem. Look in Device Manager, it will say winmodem, LT winmodem, HCF or HSF if it's a winmodem.

Did it come with any system requirements that say something like P-233 CPU required? That's usually a good indication it is a winmodem also. Hardware modems don't usually involve any system requirements, those are for the software that runs the modem.

EXTERNAL ONE
it is a software modem......


the "Jaton Communicator V.90 internal Dats, Fax, Voicemail, Caller ISA bus (Hardware Modem)"


Jaton Communicator V.90 is an internal 56 Kpbs (Hardware) ISA bus modem with a V90 protocol. The Cirrus Logic chipset gives the modem ability to do Fax, Voicemail, Data, Caller ID and Speakerphone. Ship as Plug and Play (PNP) device for easy installation in Windows 95 and 98 Operating system, the default factory setting. For DOS, Linux, and other users, you can install this modem as Non-PNP device with Jumper settings for Communication Port (COM1,COM2,COM3, and COM4) and also different IRQ settings 3,4,5,7,10,11,and 12. This modem also works with old 486 and Pentium computers. Other Linux user have used this modem on a server as a host modem for other computer to dial in.

For"Caller Id" you need to subscribe the service from your telephone company.

the external is a software, this is also backwards from what I am used to, but there you have it http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

Do Vulcans even have to debug?

Thanks!

I guess it's a harware modem. The system requirements are very nominal. I guess I have to get a new one when I upgrade the mobo though, since it's an ISA.
