Can a P5-60 mhz machine accept a 56k modem ? IF it's a PCI-Modem, no. A 133/166 is min for them. If its not a PCI, possible. I have a 166 MMX O/Ced to 200. Tried a 56k flex Action Media Combo card. 166 min req'd. Got sound, but MB would never connect modem to line no matter what I tried. Finally went back to PnP 33.6, then it got fried in a lightning strike. Now I'm using an external 14.4 until I receive my "new" 33.6. I'm going to wait until I upgrade cpu speed before I go for 56k. When ever that is. :) George Hurless The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering special "Free-After-Rebate" Software specials in conjunction with Beyond.com.
