Only if the manufacture provided drivers for win3.x ,there where a very few that did, otherwise no I'm afraid.

Look at it on the bright side it won't work with PCGeos, os2, QNX, or any other so called alternative operating systems/enviroments( apart from maybe the lastest distributions of Linux).

So your dos/win 3.x setup is in good company.

I got a US robotics 28.8 winmodem to work with Windows 3.1 I am on the net now with it. Of course as the above message states only if the manufacturer provided drivers for it which mine did.
