    Geez, Hope you didn't buy it originally - telling your age.. Make a good door stop.


    Driver Guide may have a driver: HERE

    If the link does not work go to driverguide.com use "Drivers" and "All" for password. Do a search.
    Please do not use "PM" for personal help, post in forum so everybody can learn

    Practical Peripherals Modem Drivers - 42 drivers found
    all 2400, 9600, 14400 & 28800
    This is the Practical Peripherals .INF file from the Win98SE CD. It contains drivers for virtually all of the PP modems up to 28,800 bps. This includes the PM288HC II, MT II, PC288LCD and a whole host of others. I've managed to get XP to accept this driver for my PM288HC II non-PnP modem

    the modem should not require a special driver. just configure its resources manually with the jumpers and/or dipswitches on the card. if you're using any recent operating system (9x/me/nt4/2k/xp), simply plug the thing in and run hardware detection, install it as a standard modem (configured to use the correct com port of course) and away you go.
