I knew that USR had begun selling controllerless, DSP-less HSP or 'software' modems, but I didn't know - until yesterday - that they are [apparently] based upon a Rockwell/Conexant 'chipset'. (The 'chipset' for this kind of modem is basically a codec - a/d/d/a convertor and on/off-hook control - the real work is done by your cpu, and the quality of the driver is extremely critical.)

I'd appreciate any help in identifying the USR models #s, retail and OEM, that are of this design; also would really appreciate anyone who has one of these and a digital camera to send me a .jpg of the modem card!!!

You can reply here, but please also give me the info - for use on Modemsite - via www.modemsite.com/56k/feedback.asp


Thanks!

Might note Richard that the original Beta V.92 drivers from Pheobe Micro were copyrighted by USR as noted by Basset Hound in:
