Dear Antonio, Thank you very much for your mail! I downloaded scanModem.gz from: http://132.68.73.235/linmodems/packages/scanModem.gz I have just downloaded it again and the file has not changed. If you can tell me the link to the newest version, I'll run it, of course. For the moment I have had a look at Windows, as you point out, and the info I get is as follows: ATI3 Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.88 ATI5 2.1.88, HDA MB , HDA, A35 S-Rev:1 L-Rev:3, 12 I have not found any file called ('MODEM.INF' or 'MODEM.*') (the O.S. is Vista, not XP) but the following Modem Information can be useful: HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_2118144D&REV_1002 and somewhere else "Driver files" I find the following: C:\\Windows\agrmsdel.exe C:\\Windows\system32\agrscoin.dll C:\\Windows\system32\agrsmsvc,exe C:\\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\AGRSM.sys C:\\Windows\system32\drivers\modem.sys although the files cannot be edited. Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain the info: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT stands for Conexant. I hope that the info I have collected is useful. And thanks a lot!
