Horst,
Nowadays you get "designed for windows95" or even "requires win95" on virtually everything, which I think should be present only on garbage bins so your observation of what they call "minimum system requirements" is not enough to satisfy me.
The only way forward is to actually look at the beast which I was too tired to do yesterday but intend to do today. That will destroy all the doubts and mist surrounding the issue.
Also, I have strong suspicion that 5610 and 5690 PCI models are *not* winmodems, they are just unsupported PCI devices which use mapped memory to communicate with the host.
Regards, Tigran.
