Do you see what I mean? AOHell's software *WORKS!* Thanks to all of
you who suggested sources for installation CD's but every single one
of those companies' kits installs DUN... UNACEPTABLE!

Oh, and in reference to Sherwood vs. Lucent SinModems... Things used

can EASILY handle a T1 card, what the FSCK do we need PCI modems
for?!?!

Having a bad day,
Scott
