    Re: anyone have an

    I can look through my stuff. I think I have one. I will let you know tonight or tomorrow. If I have one, you are welcome to it. No charge.

    Not sure if it is internal or external. Do you have a preference? Or would you take either?

    I have a couple external US Robotics V.Everything 56k Modems. Not sure if they are hardware vs software tho..

    They are a high quality business type modem for around $250 new. We don't use them anymore. If you think they are a hardware modem I'll ship one off to you.

    Woot

    Either/or guys...can you get me model #'s by chance ? I'll do the research on them then...either way...I pay shipping...send it C.O.D.

    internal/external makes no difference, as long as it helps my dinosaur connection

    mot's is definately a hardware modem. no way an external unit can be software.

    That's what I was going to say and since I supported these modems for about2 years I can say thye are pretty dang nice. In fact I put this little cheat sheet together for the USR support intranet when I was there. It should give you a good referance for all USR AT commands sets even if it is a little outdated.

    These modems are still sought after and used buy many businesses to support their outdated equipment or in areas with little broadband availability. Many of the 36k ones could still be flash upgraded to 56k for free when I left but that may have changed.
