I bought one of these DSVD modems in the USA and it came with QfaxII and
proshare conferencing software. 

I have never heared a beep from the net using my browser. Sound enabled
is checked. I am not sure if this is a modem or soundblaster problem,
but as a first step I have been trying to get hold of the *inf file that
contains the DSVD profile for win95. I am currently using the 28K Fax,
voice setting.

I called the USR BBS and downloaded two files mdusrvi.inf and
mdusrvp.inf neither contained the correct profile. I also picked up the
33k BIOS update and I am thinking about flashing the EPROM. 
USR BBS support said they didn't know anything about this modem in the
UK.

I have downloaded the same files from the USR website.. no diferent. Any
Ideas?

Other questions: 
1. What does the Vi stand for in Vi DSVD? and can I use this modem for
voice mail?

2. Can I link anywhere on the net or with another modem to try out my
DSVD?

3. Can I plug a phone into the US phone socket if I swap the outer and
inner as for data?

Thanks for you help.
