 Chill out, Mr. Guru. I'm quite familiar with that particular modem. It says 
plainly in the docs that it's not a Winmodem. It's a *software* modem.
Same thing, but you have to know hardware to know that.
 The guy's looking for an answer to a problem, and you're serving up a 
lecture on semantics. Now he's got TWO problems - the modem and you.
 Oh, BTW. Does ATI0 mean anything at all to you? That's how you query a
modem.
