I dont think I will even get mine online at this rate, and I dont feel like building a line voltage simulator. :roll:

Nice tutorial though.
We're working on an easier way around this.

For now, look on ebay or ask around for spare modems. But obviously make sure it's the Revision A.

Your terminology for the modem type is completely wrong. You're talking about a Hardware Voice/Data/Fax Modem as oppossed to a Software Voice/Data/Fax Modem. And the physical differences between the two modem types go far beyond the presence of a piezoelectric speaker, which is an inaccurate means of identification.

Hardware modems handle the entire analog-to-digital digital-to-analog data translation for the computer. They have their own line voltage inducer. So making the hardware modems easily identifiable because also of the transformer on them. Overall hardware modems have a circuit board surface area typically twice the size of a software modem.

Software modems merely provide a means of interface between the computer and the phoneline. THink of them more as an adapter than anything. The bulk of the data translation and transmission work is left up to the system CPU. Software modems have no means of line voltage induction thus relying entirely on the presence of a good phoneline connection in order to function properly. Because the software modem pretty much does nothing unto itself it's comprised of very few components allowing manufacturers to use rather small circuit boards.

But here's the thing, both hardware and software modems can posses a piezoelectric speaker!

Once this sub folder is opened you will see another folder named 0000, open it now you will see a new list off
Ok what does all of those numbers on above this mean (yes i know there there but then u tell me to go to 0000 and i went there then u said modem and no modem there?)

no i found out what the problem is, tiney xp does not have the moniter file under the 0000. then when i just went back to normal windows xp the monitor file is there. now i just seem to figure out why the dc wont diel into the computer i know its voice compatable since it could do dial up service and has both ports. has to be somthing with winrout

Do you think that this could be down on Vista, everything in the Registry Editor is still there in vista. I think I might give it a try, I will post another repy if it works, might be alittle while becasue I dont think I have the right modem but I am planning on buying one but I am going to try right now.

I will give this a try, but I also have tiny xp so it might not work for me.
