- Get the mdmusrsp.inf file from USR's WWW site. That'll take care of yr
- blues. Just as another person has pointed out, identify it as either the
- internal or external 28800. I have had no prollems with it since I used

- I agree with you on the P&P portion. I couldn't get Win95 to identify a
- 33.6 Sportster Internal modem (which *IS* what it displayed when it
- auto-identified my hardware). Since there were no default drivers to select
- from, I ended up switching my internal settings to Com2 Irq3 (if I'm not
- mistaken). From that point on, after a re-detect hardware wizard, I had 3
- Com ports (1 and 3 would be my serial ports and 2 was my modem). Everything
- worked from there on out. P&P my ass (for now, that is). Com2 worked
- beautifully (and that isn't saying much for this Hewlett-Crappard Pavilion).
-
- Set the modem to a Com port, don't go with P&P right now. Unless you know
- someone from USR who can help ya.

- You might tweak the AT settings -- found under Win95 in the Modem Applet
- (Control Panel), under the Advanced options for the recognized modems. Use
- the blank line underneath the Standard option. I'm recalling this from
- memory, so pardon the misty clarity (oxymoron?)
