Is there ANY 56kbps modem out there that has a driver which works under XP x64?

By the way, lack of support for 16-bit apps under x64 seems to me to be
virtually criminal given the previous history of backwards compatibility; not
supporting legacy applications should be red-flagged in big capital letters
all over any description of the OS, otherwise it's reasonable to assume that
such support would be provided as usual.

My US Robotics 5610B works great on x64. No drivers needed. Just reinstall
your Windows95 if you want to run your 16-bit apps. I personally don't
have any, except installers, but wish more 32-bit apps would work.

Can Windows 95 even boot into setup on 64 bit PC? He might have been luck
with 98.

Smart link has drivers for their modems, maybe you want to consider
purchasing one from them. The US Robotics 5810 ran perfectly out of the box

can anyone verify?

i just tried manually installing the moden for my notebook as an Agere
Systems Ac'97 Modem. -everything comes up fine. can anyone verify that the
modem will work by doing this? i dont have a dial up account.

it comes up as a microsoft 10/1/2002 driver
versions 5.2.3790.1830

Why don't you use hyperterminal to make a call, say to the time operator.
Just use a local number you know and see if your modem dials out.
