If you are using a "winmodem", its not FC5 fault that it could not detect it, but rather the vendor will not release chip specs to anyone other than M$. There have been some reverse engineering work in the realm, but if the vendor will not realase specs, then building a module for it is kinda rough. Using a Serial external modem will work with no hitch. </BODY> </HTML>
