ALL RIGHT! The more we continue the more I find out I am SUPER ignorant about communications and the like! (G) Yes, I have an internal modem, with "softmodem technology" supposedly allowing you to upgrade your modem via software upgrades and not hardware. The more I hear, the more it sounds like a risky venture. I have written them a message on their BBS and hope to find out about their UART compatability and how to allow use. Now, my machine is a '91 486dx25. How does an internal modem use the UART on the serial card? If I upgrade the serial card (assuming I have the older chip) will that help with the internal modem? Thank you so much for your patience in answering these "stupid" questions. Doug
