For OS/2 the modem, >and drivers for MMPM. Modem is V.34 and Fax V.17. The MultiMedia Modem from IBM is NOT a functional option for OS/2 and probably only barely so in a Dos/Windows environment. Definitely NOT recommended for the home/office. Some Bad design here: 1) CANNOT handle extention phones in any reasonable manner. If you pick up an an extention, & it's a fax.. you lost the call. If you pick up an extention after it's picked up, & it's a voice.. it does NOT detect this & hang up.. it continues on in it's merry way. 2) there are NUMEROUS difficulties with the software (quicklink) NOT working as designed. I'm still with development team on some of these problems. BOTTOM LINE This is a piece of scrap that barely works in a modern world. I'm surprised it got by any testing. Even junky PhoneBlaster, which does NOT perform well under OS/2 handles extensions properly. NO COMMENT on the Soundcard portion. Andrey Lasichuk (alasichu@io.org)
