Agere Soft Modem Driver for Windows XP

[C. M. Burns]

Folks, I'm new to the 'driver' game, so I'll throw
this one to the veterans: What's a good/safe site
for downloading the latest drivers for modems?

I've got an Agere Systems PCI-SV92PP Soft Modem.
The OS is Windows XP Pro 32-bit.

Thanks.

How did the ones at HP work out ?

The answer is --

The modem support page provided by the manufacturer of the modem
which you have purchased.

Using my flaky connection, I managed to download
a few drivers from the HP site. I uninstalled the
older one and installed a newer one. I'm currently
test-driving it. So far, so good. It's much stabler
than the previous one. For the benefit of anyone
who may be in a similar situation, I went from
version 2.1.65 to 2.1.91.

I asked about the best sources for drivers because,
while searching, I came across some sites that
require you to download and run an EXE file that
ostensibly analyses your system and recommends
the best drivers. Needless to say, I didn't bother
with those sites. I also came across sites that
charge $$$ for downloading drivers. WTF?

Anyway, it looks like my problem has been solved.

Thanks.

I read an article that said you should check for
drivers in the following sequence: first, the PC
maker's site; second, the modem manufacturer's
site; third, the chip set manufacturer's site.

Since I have a generic PC, I checked the modem
maker's site (lsi.com), but didn't notice any
drivers there. I managed to get a driver off the
HP site that seems to be working just fine.
