Hi James,
I've never seen a Windows "live cd".
The DOS route is complex and I can see two options. If you have a DOS
driver for your modem then you could boot to DOS, install your modem, and
then use a terminal emulator to send the ATi commands requested by Jacques.
Alternatively, you could use a PCI diagnostic tool to examine your hardware
and extract the Vendor ID and Device ID values (this will require some
detailed hardware knowledge).
I suspect that at the end of this you will find your modem is unsuitable for
reliable fax communication. You might want to consult the hylafax.org user
groups for solid alternatives before wasting your time.

Subject: Re: Trying to set up modem for Fax
I don't have Windows installed, except under a VMware virtual machine. Is
there any sort of Windows
"live cd" I could use to do this? Or can I boot from a DOS floppy and use
some other program to
detect the hardware?
Cheers,
James
