From: Richard Bonner on 30 Nov 2009 12:54 Hello, All. I have a choice to buy one of two modem cards for an HP Pavilion 3438 laptop. I have been hunting around the Internet to see if either is Hayes compatible but have only found ambiguity. Has anyone any experience with an "XJEM3336" or "XJEM3288" modem under DOS? I am using DR-DOS 7.03 and will be using a terminal program (Pro-Comm Plus) on a dial-up landline. -- Richard Bonner http://www.chebucto.ca/~ak621/DOS/

These are Megahertz (subsequently absorbed by 3Com/USRobotics) modems; the 3336 is newer. Both are "DOS compatible" but: You will need either "Card and Socket Services" plus a modem driver, or a standalone "enabler" program to allocate the COM port.

Pamphlet about the XJEM3336T says: "For more detailed product specifications, call (800) 527-8677 or visit the U.S. Robotics Website at w w w. m e g a h e rt z . c o m /" You would not think any PCI wireless cards sold new this century would be DOS compatible or have DOS drivers. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
From: Richard Bonner on 8 Dec 2009 07:32 Thanks for the help, guys. I got busy with work and have just moved into a new apartment, so I have not yet pursued this very far. However, the store owner is willing to let me try both modems and to return the one I don't want. I will post a followup with the method that worked once I get some time to try each modem and the suggested solutions. -- Richard Bonner http://www.chebucto.ca/~ak621/DOS/

Ever try the old, tried, and true *best* DOS modem? Many dialup servers use banks of these.
