If so, why not go with an > external modem? Always worked for me, back in the day. :-) And my internal hardware modem worked for me when there was a serial driver, namely sio. It won't work with 8.x and uart, so there is no reason to think that things that used to work with sio will work with uart. That's my question: what dialup modem is KNOWN to work with uart on 8.x? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
