***EDIT: I tried to install this newer driver, but after installation the device says that it is not responding. The offending file seems to be smserial.sys, and when replaced with the older 6.02.13 file the modem works correctly. It's a wonder that the driver made it through the Microsoft testing, unless the "new" SM56 is different (which I doubt). Try the driver at your own risk!***

There is a newer driver for the Motorola SM56 softmodem, then the one that is posted on the Motorola modem website. It is for Win2k and XP Home/XP Pro. It is version 6.04.0.0, dated 2nd September 2003, compared to 6.02.13 which is posted by Motorola on their website. The newer driver is available on Microsofts Windows Update Catalog page, and claimed to be released on the 30th August.

Cheers
