Driver for an FM56I-LU modem (56k ?)

B

Bill Jillians

I just got a second hand machine which had a modem in it. Sadly the
drivers weren't present so I've had to find them. The modem has a
product code "FM56I-LU". Now I found that AOPEN make the FM56 range of
modems. But no matter how I searched I couldn't find any dedicated
driver for that particular modem. The closest was a FM56-ITU but it
wasn't any good. I also ran the product code through Yahoo and Google
.... they both came up with ZERO hits.

I tried all the drivers that were available for other FM56 series modems
and none of them worked. I tried the standard modem drivers in Win98
and none of them worked either.

Does anyone please have a clue how I can get this modem to work ???

Many thanks for reading this and for replying, if you choose to do so.

PS. I suppose it might be FM561-LU but frankly I think that is doubtful
although I didn't think of running that through Google at the time.

Ignore the model number then and focus on the chipset... pull the
modem and write down the manufacturer and other markings on the
primary (large) chip and any others of significant size. Put those
into a search engine or post 'em here.

As suggested these are the main chips in the modem.

Lucent 1034AH-J
and
Lucent 1646T00 which has a sticker over it CTR-21.

I hope that means more to anybody than it means to me.

Lucent modem chipsets are now named "agere" and have combined multiple
model support into a single download here:
http://www.agere.com/support/client/modem_driver2.html

The current version is 8.30, so the file is named similarly to
"modem830.exe". You might find several other, older versions of the
Agere/Lucent drivers, using same filename format "modem[nnn].exe"
here: http://www.modem-drivers.com/companies/609.htm
