This modem does not use any Netowrk Inteface = cards to work but has special software and plugs into a ISA port. The software required for it to run on a win98 machine is called = SCMWatch 1.1.1 Connection Manager made by General Instruments of = Deleware. I am unable to find a web site for this software and it only = seems avabale from my ISP. My ISP says they will never support anything = other than Win98. They do not support Win95 or NT. If anyone has something I can use to allow me to connect via this = interface let me know. It seems to be the only possible interface = available where I love other than a 33.6 connection. 56k ISPs are not = even avaialble!!!. DSL was quoted to costs $7500+ for installation and = a max speed of 144k. All other options are well over my financial = means. Any hole in this matter would be greatly appreciated as I have great = need of features that only seem to be found in BSD and other Unix spin = offs.
