modem question and modem string wanted

modem question and modem string wanted

Is it ok to have an isa modem and pci modem installed at the same
time?

I have a dual boot system.

98se and xp.

98se and puppy Linux live cd does recognize my ISA modem (cl-md56xx
cirrus logic)

Windows xp does not.

However, xp does recognize the ESS 1868 ISA sound card.
I hope that does not mean, I have to reinstall XP, so it will
recognize my modem. I did try the standard modem trick


As far as the string wanted

For 98se
What is the string to mute the modem volume and show the connection
speed, not the port speed.

You have a motherboard with ISA slots. You are running XP on said

You are indicating that you have internet access via dial-up modem.

You are one hurting unit.

Do yourself a favor and get a computer that was manufactured this
decade, and subscribe to a broad-band internet service.

As evidenced recently some of our more rural cousins do not have the
luxury of broadband access.

My computer can handle up 500 mb of memory, because of tech broke
one the plastic plug. It can only handle 256 mb stick at the most.
The stick order does not matter, from what I have read.

My computer was a business system built by Compaq and was giving to
me, when the business upgraded to xp.

However, this system has 2 isa slots. 5 pci slots
2 on board 1.1 USB slot

1 pci slot is using a ragepro pci graphic card.
1 pci slot is using a usb 2.0 pci card
1 pci slot is for a pci modem that went bad I order another one.
1 pci using is used for a Network Adapter
1 pcl slot empty (This maybe a AGP slot, not sure)
1 ISA slot is used for an E1868 ISA sound card
1 ISA slot is used for an cl-md56xx cirrus modem currently.
5 bay drive (Never could get a second hard drive or a second cd drive
to work correctly).


I have been running xp and 98se for a long while.

Xp is a little slow, but that because of my memory. That does not
bug me. I am used to slow systems.

As far is getting a computer, do you want to send me $500.00 walmart
gift card? I am kidding of course. I will be glad to get a
computer if you did that. I still would have to buy a USB modem and
install a floppy drive.


My system I would love to have
Would be W7 (I hate the new desktop and start menu, that is a turn
off) or Vista
With a floppy drive, DVD/cdrw burner drive

Access to the Bios menu needed. So, I can choose the boot order.

One site said xp does not have ISA bus. If that was the case, my
ISA sound card wouldn't work.

The only reason I got xp, is so I can use flash to pay my bills.

Evidence points to lack of spending $$$ and not necessarily lack of
broadband coverage, as indicated by running XP on ancient hardware.
