ISA isn't directly addressed in XP, and the modem may not "talk"
properly to XP for it to be installed [requiring XP drivers]. If you're
interested look for how to get ISA to work properly, and for an XP
driver for the ISA modem. Note, however, that this modem doesn't seem to
work in XP [or well from what I have found], its a softmodem.

The cl-md56xx Cirrus modem is an EARLY implementation of a Win-modem
[controllerless] meaning it is a SOFTWARE modem [and works better with
the 6.04 or later firmware upgrade, and many were under product
recall]. It also uses Cirrus Logic's special set of AT commands, so
standard Hayes commands may not work properly.

Command Output

AT i1 Reports the modem chip firmware revision.

AT i3 Reports the chipset name.

AT i7 Gives the version of the board manufacturer firmware.

AT i21 Gives the Cirrus Logic firmware revision.

AT i22 Gives the Cirrus Logic manufacturer name.

AT i23 Gives the Cirrus Logic product model.

AT +GMI? Identifies the modem manufacturer.

AT +GMM? Identifies the product model.

AT +GMR? Identifies the product revision.

AT&V may provide some information of commands available

Ln - Speaker Volume
The modem sets the speaker volume control according to the parameter
supplied. The parameter value, if valid, is written to S22 bits 0 and 1.
L0
Low volume.
L1
Low volume. (Default.)
L2
Medium volume.
L3
High volume.
Result Codes:

OK n = 0 to 3.
ERROR Otherwise.

Mn - Speaker Control
This command selects when the speaker will be on or off. The parameter
value, if valid, is written to S22 bits 2 and 3.
M0
Speaker is always off.
M1
Speaker is on during call establishment, but off when receiving carrier.
(Default.)
M2
Speaker is always on.
M3
Speaker is off when receiving carrier and during dialing, but on during
answering.
Result Codes:

OK n = 0 to 3.
ERROR Otherwise.
[from a discussion on the particular modem]


Xn - Extended Result Codes:
This command selects which subset of the result messages will be used by
the modem to inform the DTE of the results of commands.
Blind dialling is enabled or disabled by country parameters. If the user
wishes to enforce dial tone detection, a "W" can be placed in the dial
string (see D command). Note that the information below is based upon
the default implementation of the X results table. Table 3-1 indicates
the messages which are enabled for each X value.
If the modem is in facsimile mode (+FCLASS=1 or 2), the only message
sent to indicate a connection is CONNECT without a speed indication.
X0
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country
requirements; send only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, and NO
ANSWER result codes. Blind dialling enabled/disabled by country
parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is
detected, NO CARRIER will be reported. If dial tone detection is
enforced or selected and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be
reported instead of NO DIAL TONE. The value 000b is written to S22 bits
6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X1
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country
requirements; send only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO ANSWER,
and CONNECT XXXX (XXXX = rate). Blind dialling enabled/disabled by
country parameters. If busy tone detection is enforced and busy tone is
detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead of BUSY. If dial tone
detection is enforced or selected and dial tone is not detected, NO
CARRIER will be reported instead of NO DIAL TONE. The value 100b is
written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X2
Disables monitoring of busy tones unless forced otherwise by country
requirements; send only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO CARRIER, ERROR, NO
DIALTONE, NO ANSWER, and CONNECT XXXX. If busy tone detection is
enforced and busy tone is detected, NO CARRIER will be reported instead
of BUSY. If dial tone detection is enforced or selected and dial tone is
not detected, NO DIAL TONE will be reported instead of NO CARRIER . The
value 101b is written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X3
Enables monitoring of busy tones; send only OK, CONNECT, RING, NO
CARRIER, ERROR, NO ANSWER, and CONNECT XXXX. Blind dialling
enabled/disabled by country parameters. If dial tone detection is
enforced and dial tone is not detected, NO CARRIER will be reported. The
value 110b is written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively.
X4
Enables monitoring of busy tones; send all messages. The value 111b is
written to S22 bits 6, 5, and 4, respectively. (Default.)
Result Codes:

OK n = 0 to 4.
ERROR Otherwise.

Note: An 'X' in a column indicates that the message (either the long
form if verbose, or the value only for short form) will be generated
when that particular value of 'n' (shown at the top of the column)
has been selected by the use of ATXn. If the column is blank, then
no message will be generated for that X option. A numeral indicates
which less explicit message (verbose or short form) will be output
[from Rockwell/Hayes command set information]

I think you might be write about the com ports.

98se
Com port 1 (Maybe the mouse)
Com port 2 (ISA modem)
Com port 3 (maybe it was used for the old pci modem)

Xp
Com port 1 (Maybe the mouse)

AT+M0,S22 (Put this in the extra modem settings)

I think the S code forces to show the connection speed, not the port
speed. Not sure if I remember if that is correct.




To all,
Does it hurt to have an ISA modem and a PCI modem installed at the

AT+M0,S22 (Put this in the extra modem settings)

No comma, all commands are to be placed in one long string. The comma
is generally a pause command.

So the init string may look like ATF0V1X4&K3E1M0W1&Q4\N3S46=138&W1 - etc.

S95 - Extended Result Codes
The bits in this register can be set to override some of the Wn command
options. A bit set to a 1 in this register will enable the corresponding
result code regardless of the Wn setting. Also, refer to Table 3-1.

Answered already. I used to run two myself, one for regular usage,
another for dedicated Fax services [two line system] or with a single
line [the USR Sportster Fax/Data 14400 for faxes as it tended to connect
better with all the fax machines and modems].
Note: you *may* have to disable some of the features or split them
between the two internal modems. You can't (or shouldn't) have a single
line and run two programs using two separate modems at the same time.
BOTH may try to answer, or the Fax/Data signaling [monitoring] may
interfere with the other program [even though they are on separate comm
ports]. Most comm programs have the option to choose which device you
want to use, so pick which one when starting.
Its MUCH easier to use an internal and external [turn off when not in use].

Good info Franc... being it was an ISA not PCI I provided the AT
commands to obtain the information to identify the particular device,
chipset, and other information.

The ISA information I found appeared to claim this was a software
modem, though that appears potentially wrong according to the webarchive
link, as well as my indication of non-standard command set. Hmm, I
should have dug a little deeper.

The other information and commands seem to be correct.

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)

The xx is important. Some 56xx modems were controllerless, others had
a hardware controller.

See http://www.modemsite.com/56K/intel.asp

Does your modem have jumpers? Does it have RAM (61xxx or 62xxx) and
EPROM/EEPROM (27xxx or 29xxx) chips?

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.

W2 should show the DCE speed.

The speaker control commands should be generic Hayes, ie Mn and Ln.

Here is an archived library of AT commands:

Good info Franc... being it was an ISA not PCI I provided the AT
commands to obtain the information to identify the particular device,
chipset, and other information.

The ISA information I found appeared to claim this was a software
modem, though that appears potentially wrong according to the webarchive
link, as well as my indication of non-standard command set. Hmm, I
should have dug a little deeper.

The other information and commands seem to be correct.

Thanks Franc.

I'm fairly certain that _no_ ISA-based modems were controllerless.

The best modems were in fact ISA-based, because they always had on-board
processors and did all the communication work themselves, as opposed to
controller-less modems (which as a rule were are all PCI-based modems).

The OP is advised to remove the PCI modem and get XP to recognize the
ISA modem. His anemic system doesn't need extra load of dealing with a
controller-less modem.
