Nasty Rockwell Modem

[sonnyjim]

I have a 56k Internal Rockwell modem , I have no details for it , no guide or anything at all. And no driver.


Upon installation on Win98 its found as an Unsupported Device - no matter what coms port I put it on.


This is causin major stress - does anyone have any drivers or advice?

Try a google search for rockwell problems. Several sites that have better information than here. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.

I think Rockwell also makes chipsets. (Microchip inside the modem that makes it work).

Look at the model info on the modem and go look for a Rockwell site on the internet and try to find a driver for it. Most Modem manufacturers have a website with drivers.
Sometimes a generic driver based on the chipset will also work. Some modems were also upgradable. In other words it could be possible to upgrade a modem by downloading a file and flashing the programmable firmware inside the modem. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.

ceh4702 and edfair certainly can help you more than myself, but from their ideas...

From google this site which identifies chipset (Rockwell)..
You may be able to go from there.

If you find the FCC sticker on it, you can look here if you want your specific manufacturer info
