I got it with AOL, when I went to their broadband service, I stayed for a year and migrated to Central Point. The drivers running it in Windows came from BTs own website. I am not sure what you mean by connection settings, if you could clarify I would be grateful. I don't forward anyhing to the modem if that is what you mean. I double click on the modems icon (two green arrows) and a window opens with options one of them being connect. I then type in user name and password and then it connects. Central Point is a small independant UK ISP and does not give you all the doo-hickies with ISPs like AOL and BT. It is basically a broadband connection service nothing more, no web space, e-mail etc. I will try Demons' website and see if they do and if they have drivers for download.
