    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Fri Sep 11 22:01:00 2026
    Is there anything for installing drivers on windows 11? I've tried the XP/2K drivers that work under windows 10 32 bit, supposed windows 7 drivers that
    were a mac image of a cd and supposed windows 10 64 bit drivers that weren't identified. I've got this working on my windows 10 32 bit system, but want
    it on a windows 11 system as I'm not using that IP address to connect to my
    bbs and would be able to identify dial-up users from sexpots from that
    system.

    Must be an internal "WinModem", eh?

    Recommend getting an external modem. No drivers needed.

    No, external USB modem. Thats the same issue I had when I had my dialup line last year. But I am on Win7, so it worked.

    Not even sure most computers have serial ports for external any more.

    there are lots of new motherboards that come with serial ports. just no cable bracket to bring the connector out to the case. those are fairly cheap on eBay though

    Oh. Didn't know there was such a thing as a USB modem. Sounds like
    it's in the same category as a WinModem, maybe.

    That's certainly true. They do make USB/serial adapters that work, as
    I've done it with an external USR modem connected to a modern computer
    running Linux. The BBS software thinks it's talking to a normal serial
    port.

    You can buy PCI Express X1 to 2x DB9 serial card. Very cheap.
