I keep getting disconnected from the internet, AOL said to call IBM for correct modem, driver, & com. IBM wanted $179.00!!!
I have an IBM APtiva, Windows 95. I installed a new IBM modem 1 year ago, after lightning storm. No problems until now.

You wouldn't happen to know what the make and model of the new modem is, do you??

There might be a sticker or something on the card if you pull it out to look.

Then you might be able to find the driver online.

HI TIG .. could you please post the model number of your IBM aptiva and your operating system. That way we can see if they have the specs on their site and perhaps the drivers as well . Thank you.

Thanks, 2142 S62 Aptiva -Windows 95
The ModumThat came up on one of my ports was 14.4 Data Fax w/ DAA PCM CIA. I ordered it from IBM about 1 yr ago.
I am just home for lunch - I get off work at 7:00, so I'll check back then. Thanks so much for any advice!

I hate to say it, BUT AOL as an ISP does have it's problems with disconnects.
Which version of IE are you using? Or, are you using the AOL version----

HI again ..try this IBM page. See if anything there matches what you have and your operating system. It looks to me like what you need...

 

[Tlgccc]

Thanks ! I'll check out that site. I have no idea which IE I have - How do I find out?

 

[Tlgccc]

I just looked at that site, it does look like the one I need! If I download it, and then it's not, will it hurt anything?
Thanks!

Howdy folks...

Tlgccc...

This is a laptop correct ?

If so remove the PCMIA modem ( power down first ) and post the model # and anything else it say's on the top and bottom of the card...

 

[Tlgccc]

No, desktop.

If you got the red and blue cd that came with the aptiva the drivers are on the blue cd.
But that would be no good it the modem is not the same one as it was before.

This is the download site for the original modem drivers for that pc so if they gave you an identical modem these SHOULD be it .. It is odd though because you asked at first for pcm cia drivers which I do believe are for a laptop no ?? Can somebody back me up on this one or am I wrong ? I think the guys are right and unless you have some kind of model number for the modem you put in you are going to have to pull it out and check the numbers on it to make sure which model you have so we can help you find the right drivers.

No...catlady13...you're not wrong, PCMCIA cards are usually for Laptops, although there are PCMCIA adapter cards for PCI slots out there...

But I think if Tlgccc, is showing a PCMCIA driver then it is the wrong driver for the card ( I've used PCMCIA drivers for a HSP 56 Micromodem, and they worked, although not very well )...

Tlgccc...

If you are still in this go here,Aida32 and download and install Aida32, it should tell you what modem you have...
