Thanks for the pointer. We're trying to figure out if these are PCTel or
USR OEMs. I think that the newer Gateway boxes come with USR based modems.

If they are PCTel, where would I get the new drivers? I can't find them at
the gateway (gw2k.com) site or at PCTel's site. (Although the PCTel site
provides humorous reasoning about why their modems are better than DSP
based solutions, and their bizarre justification of why they aren't going
to support X2 OR k56flex.)

Thanks very much,
Rob
