| Hello all,
I just found the site, what a mountain of info. Anyway. I recently purchased a 680e with flash card and pcmcia slot. I purchased a us robotics 3com v.90 modem card which was suggested to me by hp tech support. After following the manuals instructions and hp tech support instructions, I am still unable to get a dial tone.
I know the phone line is good because I tried a Sharp Mobilon and I received a tone. Do I need drivers for this card. It came with a cd but no drivers for windows ce.
Any help would be appreciated. I itching to use this thing online.
Thanks

| Welcome to the forums, I'm glad you like out little corner of the Internet.
The card should not require any drivers as a standard Hayes modem.
When you put it in is the modem appearing in the drop down list when you create the Remote Networking Dial-up connection.
Also I recommend that you try it in a laptop PC as well just to be sure that the card / cable are not causing you issues. | |

| Thank you for the response,
When I insert the modem in the pc card slot, a message "unrecognizable card in slot one" appears. And it does not show up in the pull-down. There are still only two options. the Hayes compatible and infra red.
Thanks | |

| Not driver name prompt at all?
If not, I would think that the card has been damaged / hasn't had it's PnP ID entered correctly when it was flashed.
If you do get a driver name prompt type:
unimodem.dll, tap ok and after a few seconds soft reset. | |

| I typed in "unimodem.dll and did a soft reboot. It still came back with "unknown card in socket one." I placed the same card in my laptop and it was recognized right away with manufacturer and model number. Could it be that I have a damaged 680e?
Thanks | |

| If you have another PC Card you can test with, and you see the same error. Then yes you may well do. | |
| |
| Should this card "3com us robotics 56k v.90 card work with my 680e. I just received an email from us robotics saying that they do not make a driver for windows ce. But HP said that this card should work.

| Any hayes AT compatible modem *should* work, as it is just responding to the same AT command subset. | |
