My downloading is really slow on the net and ozemail told me to upgrade my driver for my modem - which is external.

I don't think I even have a driver at all on my computer and I am just bamboozled by all the different Rockwell ones. I also have Windows 95

thank you

You have to have the driver installed before the software will commmunicate with the hardware. If your Modem works then the driver is installed. If you are using Windwos 95 i presume your PC is pretty old and it could be that the Modem is soemthing like a 33k-Modem which would not be fast at all. An idea of how slow a 33k mdeom is is to say that newer technologies like Broadband at are least 20 times faster. This means that when you are on the internet and accessa page your modem may take 20 seconds to download the page whereas a broadband connection would only take 1 second. If the Modem is 33k try upgrading to a 56k which should give you a more reasonable speed.

First check to see what model external modem you have by looking on the modem box

Open the Control Panel,double-click on System Icon,in Device Manager go down the list to Modem,you can see if the modem is here

For sites to download modem drivers,after you have noted the model see the following
