hello everybody!
I am trying to install a lucent winmodem on a toshiba satellite 1710
notebook under win98se with very little succces. In fact the modem
itself installs properly with the "add new hardwere\have disk" but
without the WDM modem enumerator and thus it is not functioning at
all. If I am trying to install the modem enumerator with the add new
hardwere than this is what I am geting:
"Setup cannot load the installer (modem.cpl) for the WDM_MODEM
hardware
being installed. Please contact your hardware manufacturer."

I have tried to replace the modem.cpl and still the same message but
if I am running the "control modem.cpl" the modem installer it is
activated.

The other nasty thing is that this notebook has no serials only lpt1,
usb and ps/2. Even though I am succesful in installing a
"controllerles modem port" from the modem's driver package and even
though this virtual serial it appears in the device manager\ports the
only optoion that I have to put the modem on is the lpt1!!!
And one more thing, I am positve that the drivers are ok (I think that
I have tried all of them....)

so if somebody has a solution it will be very apreciated.

Regards, Tavi
