Barry,
You can look in Device Manager to locate the specifics of the current
drivers.
Highlight "My Computer" right click and choose "Properties."
Then locate the Modem in Device Manager, expand it so you can see the
specific modem that is being used.
Next highlight it, then choose Properties at the bottom of the page.
Click on the driver tab in the window that comes up, there should be a date
on the page for the current driver.
Then click on the button "Driver File Details" located at the bottom of that
window. There you should see the file version and provider.
Hope this helps.
