Yes, there is:
10.10.02 18.44 19891 0 IBM2SS14.sys
I'll send it to you separately.

It needs to be towards the beginning and plain free space, not within
any logical partition.

Ok, WHO is going to collect the money ?
If you figure out a way doing it, I will get you a developer for this.

No, no special setup strings, I use the Lucent 56Flex something
entry in the ATT dialer.

Tried to rearrange icons ?
It should create a "Modem Region Select" entry.

Yes, Add a /V to the ltmdmos2.sys entry and you'll see, if the driver
finds the hardware at all !

The one above it the right one, if you have the right hardware,
which I doubt, since you have the combo card ;-)
