I'm rebuilding a rather dated PC for a friend. Having some probs with the modem and I want to establish whether it is software or hardware.
Entry in device manager is:
SupraSST 56i PRO DF
It also has another entry under HSFMODEM:
SUP 2850 PCI modem enumerator
I've read through the manual on the diamond site but it doesn't confirm either way. It does, however, state that a P166mmx is the minimum spec processor, which makes me think the device must be software.
Can anyone confirm this? Been a long time since I worked with modems, seemed to have forgotton most of what I knew.
Cheers 
Thank you. An answer to my question and a link to a very useful site .
I'll junk the software rubbish for an old but solid ISA V90 hardware modem.
