95B connects to the internet with 64MB of memory just fine, and
98lite which Mike Eater suggested (and which I am using ATM,
even though I have a 2 GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, 70% of
which sits unused) will work just as well. I used a 166MHz
Pentium I with 64 (later 96) MB of RAM and a 33.6 modem until 3
years ago. It was all a normal person needed. I doubt your
client is interested in high-def youtube-type stuff.

Is there a red X (or something) next to it? Otherwise, it's
there and it is working.

Enter the EXACT model number and one of the words audio, sound,
modem (IOW try 3 times). You will probably get a hit.

So what's the problem? Run it.

I just DL'd it and scanned it with today's ESET, it's clean - of
course.

Here is the list of the files in the exe. One of the names is
probably similar or same as the model # of the card you are
trying to ID.

From the content of some of the INF the files, it would appear
to be the Conexant Audio/Modem card.
