You should find your modem driver at the below link.I am not sure which
one.I believe it is...GTW V.92 modem or GTW V.92 voice modem driver,
version 3.4.16

Hope this helps with the modem.

Hi Markduren!
Thanks for the responce, but i had already downloaded this file. Unzipped it and it went to C:Windows/Temp and when i went to Temp folder could not figure it out. Tried to click on the launcher/install but no luck. hard to figure out from there what to do. Maybe i should go to System>Device Manager? Does anyone have any idea from here.

**markduren2458** · June 19th, 2006, 06:14 PM

try using device manager and click on the hardware not found then click on update driver and direct it to the temp folder you mention

**street1** · June 19th, 2006, 07:01 PM

I tried the file markduren2458 recommended and it is OK. I right clicked on my desktop first created new folder named it WDM3516d.Then I double clicked on the downloaded file,
clicked run-Then clicked browse-Then scrolled down until I saw folder WDM3516d-clicked on it-then clicked unzip.Statement came up telling me 98 files had been unzipped successfully.Then I went back to desktop opened new folder WDM3516d-scrolled down and found setup double clicked and away it went.

**markduren2458** · June 19th, 2006, 08:08 PM

so its working now?

**street1** · June 19th, 2006, 08:14 PM

hi street1
Thanks for the responce:

went to this sight, only bellow on the page to win98 and download the modem drivers and - was a complete success. I had installed the XP drivers and that's why they didn't work.

hi! street1 + markduren2458

My Version is Micrsoft Windows 98. This is obviously the first release, if it were SE or othewise it would have said so when i doubled clicked My Computer holding down the Alt key
Tried the WDM3516d AudioMax drivers, but it said that this OS is not supported by this software, also tried using device manager and click on the hardware not found then click on update driver and direct it to the WDM3516d folder markduren2458 mentioned but no luck clicked on a file in the folder 269601USA8 and said this UPDATE is not designed for your version of Windows.
