    Post Win2K Modem drivers for a Creative modem blaster?

    I need some Win2K drivers for my modem. I looked at the manufacturers web site and they don't seem to have them. The modem is a "Modem Blaster Flash 56k DI5601-1 ISA". Please I beg the tech god to bless me with some drivers. Who is the tech god?

    Darkenkil...tech god here...

    You can check the status of Creative Labs Windows 2000 drivers here. They link you here for their modems. The estimated date for W2K modem drivers is this April. Read it and weep. Now, go and sin no more...

    BTW, I'm still waiting on a real driver for the Creative Labs Encore 12X PC-DVD drive's DXR-3 decoder card. The beta driver they offer cases a BSOD on my system every time I try to use it. What a POS...

    Sometimes computer problems require extreme measures. Our hero, the Intrepid Spaceman Spiff, sets his blaster on "deep fat fry..."

    Hey guys, I emailed Creative about this too and I just got a letter back. Tis pretty interesting, I will paste it for you.

    " Hey! You guys don't have any Win2K or Linux drivers for the Modem Blaster
    Flash 56k ISA DI5601-1? Could you please make some for me, I really like
    that modem.

    Ben,

    The Windows 2000 drivers for he DI 5601-1 are available
    http://www.modemblaster.com/download/drivers.asp and the
    file name is5601Win2K.exe. I suggest extracting the file to a
    floppy disk. Then you will need to edit the 5601-12K.INF file.
    Change the second Init string in 5601-12k.inf in Notepad under
    [Basic_Commands] from
    AT&FE1V1S0=0&C1&D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1W2<cr>
    to AT&FE0V1S0=0&C1&D2+MR=2;+DR=1;+ER=1<cr>

    Creative Labs does not currently have any support for any products
    under
    the Novell, UNIX, Linux, BeOS, or BSD operating systems at this
    time. However, these cards will most likely work under these operating
    systems, provided that you use drivers created for these cards and these
    operating systems. You can try searching the web to find such drivers, but
    we do not at all support the use of these drivers. One such place which I
    know about is
    WWW.4FRONT-TECH.COM.
    You may also want to check with
    OPENSOURCE.CREATIVE.COM
    I will mention again that the use of these
    drivers is completely unsupported.

    Yea so I guess thats it, thanks for poor driver support Creative.
