| I found an Actiontec PCI modem at http://www.tigerdirect.com that has support for OS/2. It costs $60 (higher than most PCI modems but most of them don't have support for OS/2). I ordered it and will be trying it when it arrives. I am using an store brand external 56k modem but I doubt it is working at 56k speed with my ATTGlobalNetwork dialer (it sees it as a generic Apple 56k modem). I thought others might be interested. I will return with the results.

I have installed it. It was seen by the OS/2 dialer that comes with/from http://www.attglobal.net and it works great. It comes with three cd's but none are really needed to use it with OS/2 (at least I did not need them ).

| I have the ActionTek PCI Modem also, but fail to run IBMFax. Could you report your setting step by step? Thanks. |

| I will try to remember what I did to get it to work. I will come back with the results.

| O.K. this is my solution: 1. I have to put the COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS between KEYBOARD.DCP and VIOTBL.DCP, then with the help of PMDMCFG.EXE from ActionTek-CD to detect PCI modem I/O and IRQ. The result will place fellow COM.SYS. But I cannot use only COM.SYS to let the PCI modem work, I also use the recent SIO2K. Here is my CONFIG.SYS setup: The /SIO2K/DevList content: Because of only one real COM port in ASRock K7VT2 mainboard, the COM port is used by Acecat III, so I must use SIO2K to detect this PCI modem, then the COM.SYS sets it to COM4. After correct the CONFIG.SYS, reboot. Shift the IBM Fax connection to COM1, dial up! |

| I downloaded the SIO driver from GWINN from http://www.gwinn.com . I also registered it. I had been using it when I was first installed the ActionTec PCI modem. I had not installed it again when I my computer crashed. I had also installed the Lucent modem driver but will not be doing so again until I tried the SIO driver.

| I installed the sio files/drivers. The OS/2 dialer that comes with ATTGlobalNetwork ( http://www.attglobal.net ) was able to detec the ActionTec PCI modem. Before installing SIO, it could not detect it (I used the 'detect modem' feature of the dialer - it did not see it as ActionTec but as a generic 'apple' modem that is set for 56k).
