Check out this doubtlessly crappy "Host" AMR slot "Q-Lity" modem for
$5.95. Sadly, it may not be worse --or much worse--than the winmodem you have now ! Supports k56Flex and V90.
You may have an AMR (not to be confused with CNR) slot on your Mobo and forgotten it .
Or, look at these external --which (here) doesn't mean hi-end or "hardmodem"--it means outside of your valuable PCI slot at
GetOutofThe Box.
USB, serial--SupraExpress and even an out-of-stock US Robotics-.
Save your valuable PCI slot if you are short of one.
Pull that errr..less than hi-end softmodem and replace it with an external err..less than hi-end external softmodem.
If you can't or don't want to afford an mid-to- topnotch external Hardmodem ($60--$300), maybe this site will help you out.
And say "deD
G sent ya!"
