Actiontec?  Use the Lucent 8.30 driver linked below in my sig.

I have download the modem drivers but when i install the floppy to update the drivers it says that it  as got the updated drivers installed.  Does anybody know if the bios need to be changed.  No it doesn't.  I am also having problems formatting the drive from a boot disc.  Just boot to the XP cd and choose to remove all partitions, make a partition, then format it.  I have changed the settings in the bios.  I am thinking of getting broadband instead.  A lot better than dialup!!  Also the laptop was brought abroad will this be the problem with the modem?  No, it is an international modem, as almost all modems used nowadays are.
