Will someone please recommend a Modem that would be guaranteed to work with:
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
Windows XP Pro SP2
Motherboard Plantinex 2PE/800 Pro 6AL

I upgraded from Win.ME and the Modem did not work. I had a spare one of a
different make and that one did not work either, so please help! Thank you
all
 
Hi,

Do a google search for an XP or Win2000 modem drivers for your brand and
model.
The best drivers should be from the modem manufacturer's website.

Most modems (ie the less expensive ones) are controllerless modems in which
XP and your processor do the actual work. Controller based modems ($100.00
range and up) do the work inside the modem and output to WinXP. A better
explanation can be had here:

I don't use a tele modem for internet but I do for WinFax Pro. WinFax Pro
apparently does not like controllerless modems and my cheap internal modem
would not receive correctly. I purchased a USR model 5686E that works
flawlessly with WinFax Pro.

IMO if you want a more reliable modem buy a controller based modem.

P4 2.53
WinXP Home SP2

Oh, definitely. I was just answering the first question as the driver issue
was already addressed.

Actually, few so-called winmodems (the controllerless ones) will work
within XP. It just flat-out does not like them.
