I had a quick look around www.altavista.digital.com and www.dejanew.com

The only specific reference to an Dynalink Datasound S1428VH-M I can
find is a chap in Holland who is having problems with it, he was posting
in comp.software.testing .  It seems as if it is on sale in Holland
because others are asking about it in nl.comp .  How is your Dutch :-^)

See:

I believe M-Wave is very good, but software setup can be a problem and
being the first person on the block with one may not be a good thing :-)
Modems with upgradeable software are usually far more expensive than
what you have probably paid for yours, M-Wave has already upgraded from
V.32bis to V.34, voice call discrimination and DSVD.  I would expect
V.34+ to be available once it has been ratified.

There are OS/2 drivers available for other M-Wave modems and there is
some talk of being able to run software from one modem on another.  Look
to watson.mbb.sfu.ca for all your MWave requirements!

Let us know how you get on
