sheared 0 Posted February 27, 2000 I have a Zoom internal ISA Model 2819 k56Flex (upgraded to V.90) modem. No where on the box it came in (from 1 1/2 or so years ago) does it mention "dual mode". I'm assuming that's the Zoom modem that supports both k56Flex and V.90 standards? ----------------------- From the Hardware compatibility sections: Zoom 56k Dual Mode ISA Modem (Zoom Telephonics) Yes W2000 01/00 This is a tricky one. You must install the NT 4.0 drivers off the CD, then reboot, it will NOT be detected as a modem but under the system manager it shows Zoom 56k v.90 LTWinmodem (however its disabled). You must select it and open its properties, then you have to update the drivers to a Zoom 56k LT Winmodem. After that hardache it runs PERFECT! ------------------ My problem with this is that I don't have a CD. All I got with my modem is a "Zoom Modem Utilities (28312B)" 3 1/2-inch disk. When I try to install drivers off of this disk, my options are: (several external modems) Internal 33.6 - 56K Upgradable Faxmodem (PnP) Internal 56K Faxmodem (PnP) Internal 56K SVD Faxmodem (PnP) Internal 56K Video Faxmodem (PnP) PCMCIA 56K Faxmodem From the above items, I used "Internal 56K Faxmodem (PnP)" in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, so I selected this one. W2K tells me that the drivers are not certified, and asks me if I want to go ahead and install them. When I do, it shows up as the "Internal 56K Faxmodem (PnP)", not the "Zoom 56k v.90 LTWinmodem" listed in the instructions above. I have switched now to the generic V.90 drivers, but w2k now thinks it's an external modem. My connections are bad 90-95% of the time. I get numerous DNS errors and disconnects, but occassionally I'll get a good connection and everything works okay. I have two dial-up ISP's and I have gone through each of the setups and compared them to both WinNT 4.0 settings and Win95 settings. Everything being the same, the W2K connections suck. I have no problems in Win95 or NT 4.0 - so I'm left thinking it has to be the drivers. Zoom's website has nothing. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them. One other thing - the Zoom Dual Mode drivers in W2K crap out completely. I can't even dial out with those installed. Thanks! Share this post Link to post
sheared 0 Posted February 27, 2000 I just noticed in my above message - the drivers that I installed off the disk that came with the modem don't work any better than the generic v.90 drivers. I happen to be using these right now because they were the last thing I tried. Share this post Link to post
Xenomorph 0 Posted March 7, 2000 Ok, its not a duel modem or anything. It is a simple ISA v90 modem. I have the same thing (I got the v90 flash right when it came out)... Is your modem in PnP or Legacy mode? Mine is in Legacy mode (works in Linux!). I suggest putting it in legacy mode... I dont know where you got those weird instructions, or why you thought they were for your modem. Just tell Win2k to add a modem, "Internal 56K Faxmodem (PnP)" should do fine.. I have drivers for it (just an INF file since it is a good old hardware modem).. it lists it as a "Zoom 56k". Very simple. I run the modem in 33.6 mode, becaus 56k isnt too reliable for online gaming - which takes up 80% of my internet time at home. e-mail me at xenomatrix AT hotmail.com if you have any questions. ------------------ http://xenomorph.net Share this post Link to post
