Since you've found another way to access the web, I'd suggest starting here: http://www.linmodems.org/ Before going there, however, try to get a more specific identification of your modem -- particularly the model number and chipset. You'll find that "Lucent winmodem" is about as descriptive as "Ford automobile". And please do not post in HTML -- plain text is much preferred here. Good luck, -- cmg
