- I Have this modem and it runs fine under WFWG 3.1. I don't know how it
- works with Win 95 though. The box says True V.34 with V.FC. It is plug
- and play and box says works with Win 95. I just upgraded to this
- motherboard and modem about 2 months ago. I have great luck with both.
- I hope you find the problem, good luck!
