Jim -- You have already received some "excellent" info so I will not waste
anymore bandwidth with unnecessary comments.  I belong to another
"wonderful" mailing list and even some of you probably subscribe to it. This
subject is constantly debated (heatedly) and if you would visit the
following URL, you can run a context search of the archives to see the
"pros" and "cons" that many advanced users made regarding this particular
modem.  It is http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/WIN98-L.html
If you need help, I will be more than glad to narrow down the timeframe for
you.  HTH. :-)
