Looks like it, but no help there about the "Boot>" mode.
I really didn't even know if it was a WinModem. I'm only running Windows
on this box, it came pre-installed, and it works with various programs,
including Kermit.

Modem Code Corrupt
ERROR
That message looks like a firmware flash would help.
I'm trying to get Dell to tell me if there is a firmware flash available,
or if I should just throw this modem away and get a new modem.
