There won't be any drivers available specifically for XP yet, but since it's supposed to be compatible with the other Windows versions, logically something should work. When W2K was released last year many users overlooked that it was NT5 and forgot to try NT drivers.

As part of a process of elimination, have you tried any NT drivers or e-mailed Motorola to ask them for advice?


I usually find

to be an excellent resource

I have windows Xp and a motorola sm56k pci internal modem. Windows xp only installs modems to com ports 1 and 2. my modem is on com port 4. Does the windows 2000 driver correct this problem? if so, where can i get it?

Please email me at bobman999@cs.com if you know because I will not be returning to this message board.

I have read carefully the appends made here and the solution described above by "Phop" and the append made by "dd" did the trick !
(Set Country = USA in Motorola SM56 Modem systray program)
My motorola sm56 now works under windows XP.
