From this alone, I can pretty much guarantee that you wound up with a Lucent
chipset, PCI "Winmodem." I've seen far too many of these things than is
healthy. These particular modems are even less expensive than 33.6Kb/s "real"
modems, and are therefore the only types ever included in complete systems
now. Even top-of-the-line, brand-name computer systems that ship with
brand-name 3COM/USR modems have the Winmodem version. I recommend you throw
it out the nearest MSWindow.
