The rest is done by (windows) software. Your Pentium is responsible for doing all the work that the DSP of a regular modem does, and so you don't just need a "driver" in the usual sense. Which is why the normal Lucent driver won't work, and why you can't just "get specs" to drive it. In other words, the "driver" has to contain full Digital Signal Processing code (plus the usual driver code) to send/receive all the complex audio tones that a modem handles (in real-time, of course). This is so the manufacturer could save a couple of dollars (instead of buying the real modem chip)... Gary
