I found this old PCI modem in my stash. I was thinking about using it to set up a fax modem on my PC. The only question is, does this qualify as a fax modem?
In other words, what signifies a fax modem?
Will in fact any 56K (V.90/V.92) modem qualify as a fax modem?
The chip label reads:
CONEXANT
RS56-PCI
R6793-12
E49786.1
0029 PHILIPPINES
Some additional info off the PCI plate:
HP P/N: 5184-4701
DC: 4037 REV: A
REORDER P/N: 5184-4701
SERIAL NUMBER: AZT006458
I tried installing this on Windows 7. It didn't bark. Drivers were missing. I know it works under Windows 98 SE (the original system) and most likely will work under Windows XP. I did try exporting the Windows XP drivers for this device (inf, sys, etc.) and using them for a manual driver install under Windows 7. Unfortunately it didn't work. So I will have to use it on Windows XP at least, or use it on a Linux machine.
Hardware IDs:
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_4055122D&REV_01
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&SUBSYS_4055122D
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&CC_078000
PCI\VEN_127A&DEV_2014&CC_0780
You were right! This one does support fax, its ID corresponds to the one in the middle of your list. I couldn't get it to work under Windows 7 though. But it looks like it might just work under Linux, according to the page you linked. If I can get the drivers that is. This is a softmodem.
