They mirror the OEM's drivers and then charge a fee to access them. [link\|http://www.windrivers.com\|WinDrivers did this] and now [link\|http;//wwwmodemsite.com\|Modemsite] does this. Try to find that V.92 Lucent Winmodem upgrade, and you may have to pay premium services if you do not know the location of your OEM to download them for free. At least I think that OEMs still have Driver upgrades for free? Oh course, as far as I know [link\|http;//www.driverguide.com\|Driverguide] is still free? *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.* Edited by orion April 8, 2002, 09:18:43 PM EDT Expand All History

Better get a sitter for the kids and spend our waning hours dry-humping amongst a bunch of stalagtites.
