Neither did I! And it was the only modem I had to come witha fat manual on
Hayes AT command set + Class 1/2 command set + some more command set I don't
remember now.

The only problem is that (1) Windoze doesn't detect that (pretty normal) eve
though the ATIn commands report it's a Zoltrix, Rockwell-based modem, (2)
Windoze can't take full advantage of the modem's speed - there's no .inf
script for 33K - I have spotted the place where one defines the max speed...
but it's encoded and no docs for it (M$....)
But Linux drives the machine at full speed!

Good price. But I have to disappoint you - here it's ~$85 ;-))) and $95 with
voice!

I think I'll be able to find it, thanks.

Have you ever woke up swearing in the middle of the night?
You search the darkness and you scramble for the light.
Have you ever walked down the street, heard footsteps following you?
Don't worry my son, you've got the spooks all looking after you.
