- I purchased said CommSuite 95 only to later find out it would NOT
- support the internal fax/data/voice modem in my Compaq Presario. The
- outside of the CommSuite Box says you require a "compatible" voice
- capable modem. Reality is that Talkworks will only work with a voice
- modem based on Rockwell or Cirrus Logic chipsets (Presario modems use
- AT&T as far as I can tell). I have the list of "compatible" modems
- from the Delrina web site, and it's a rather short list. There are
- definitely no USR modems on the list.
-
- As for whether or not Delrina will add support for additional modems
- based on different chipsets, my guess is you'll be in for a very long
- wait. I'm considering upgrading to a Cardinal MPV288IV from my Compaq
- 14.4 so that I can get a much needed surf-speed increase as well as
- utilize the Talkworks feature, which looks pretty neat.

- P.S. If anyone has more info on what Delrina is up to in this regard,
- please post it here!
