I think it is easy to find out if it is a winmodem or not... as I know most winmodems does not have an eeprom on themselves also they do not have jumpers to set the COM port and IRQ because they use the software simulation for BIOS, COM port and IRQ. so if your modem has jumpers on it for selecting COM ports it should not be a winmodem (at least this is my opinion). do you have the modem manual ? there it also should say which platforms does your modem support if it has something else than Windows and WindowsNT there then your modem is not a winmodem for sure (especially if it says that your modem supports DOS) what is your problem about the modem exactly?
