Conextant has a modem identifier program. Go to
http://www.conexant.com/customer/md_support.html

and follow the links for Modem Driver Assistance.

I knew my make and model so I haven't tested this application.  The web site
first asks you to find your model from a list, but in there somewhere is an
offer to download an application that will interrogate the modem's bios and
report the manufacturer an model of the modem (Conexant only makes the
chip).

You have to obtain the correct drivers for the device, no doubt about
it...Try getting the FCC Id# off the device and do a look up on it OR
Get the chip# off the chipset and look for it on driversguide.com..
Good Luck

Hello all,

    I recently tried to install a Conexant/Rockwell 56FW PCI modem on a
system that I previously reinstalled Win98 on.  The customer didn't have
the original drivers that came with the modem, so I decided to download
the drivers from the internet. I tried at least three different drivers
without luck.  (By allowing the OS detect the PnP device and manual
installing the drivers with the "Add New Hardware Program")  When I run
the Modem diagnostic test I would receive the message "Modem fail to
respond" or the dreaded BSOD)  I would appreciate any help.
