My modem is a CIRRUS CLM Data Fax Voice model. 7 years old. My system is Microsoft Windows 95 Pentium (r) 16.0 MB RAM. (65% free). My present driver is COMM.DRV '95 5856 bytes. My communication port id COM4 on this system.

CIRRUS is in a different field now. I am a novice. Than you help me upgrade my driver for my at-home PC please? Thank you for any direction you can provide me with. Carol Capper

Okay, the driver file name does not necessarily relate to what modle the modem is.
You need to identify either who made the modem, or the actual modem chip on the card.

If you can identify the chip, you should be able to use the appropriate driver from Intels web site.

Remove any spaces from the pasted link.
They have fairly good instructions for how to install the driver.

If you are having trouble identifying thechip or who made the modem, join www.driverguide.com
(it's free) and follow the steps to identify the driver you need.

If this is less than a 56K modem, you might consider a new modem. I have purchased various modems for under $15.
