Soft modem PCTel ISA 8 bit, need help

by panteev . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

My friend has a modem. It is ISA 8 bit card without any jumpers. There are no signs of manufacturer, only stickers ?Super?, ?Made in China?, and one sign looks like model number: ?VC-8237 Rev 1.00?. I have experience looking for drivers in Internet,but I did not find drivers for this model. Almost forgot, there is no FCC ID code. All I found is web page of PCTel, manufacturer of main chip: http://www.pctel.com/drivers_download.htm
There I read that it is a SOFT MODEM, and there are even generic drivers for chips they made. But I don?t know, which driver I should use for my chip, PCT288-IA. The one I tried didn?t help me: after installation it asks number of COM-port my modem is attached to. But there is no new COM port after installationof modem, neither virtual COM port after installation of driver.
May be I do something wrong, or may be someone knows where can I take the driver I need.
One more thing: modem worked fine in my friend?s computer until he decided to delete Windows 98 and install Windows ME. Now I can?t launch it neither on his, nor on any other computer.
