Hey, it's practically on your front door already. Try Redmond, WA!

The Microsoft Bulletin Board has the driver that you are looking for. If 
you don't know the number to their bulletin board call Microsoft and get the 
Technical support staff to tell you. 

Microsoft has a 1-800-number that has all of their phone numbers listed. If 
you don't have that call 1-800-555-1212 and get the number from information.

By the way, that driver will stop all other processes dead in their tracks 
from the moment it starts emitting sound until is is done. So if you are 
running a communications program or some other timing related program it 
will probably get trashed if you are using that sound driver. A minor detail 
otherwise.

When you get it please post it on internet for the benifit of the rest of 
us. Thank you.
