Need drivers for 56K internal modem (PCI)

[lanux128]

i have this problem with a WinXP PC that throws up a 'found new hardware' message each it's started. the device happens to be a 'Modem PCI Simple Communications Controller', a google search showed that it's a code for internal PCI modem. so i checked further and found that it's called 'Agere PCI Soft Modem' with the chipset labelled MSP-7850W. the problem is now finding the drivers since Agere has long been sold to Lucent (or is it vice-versa) and somehow the vendors website is now non-existent.

the normally reliable google search only points to certain drivers website where one has to install a certain driver-sleuth programs before being able to download the drivers. so i would like to ask fellow DC'ers if they happen to have the drivers or the links to this drivers, please share with me. thanks..

The modem's identification string.

I'm not sure, but I think this drivers will do fine: agere.7z (543.4 KB)
If they don't, please post the device's VENdor and DEVice IDs (Device Manager, Properties, Details view, Device Instance ID).
The string should look like this:
PCI\VEN_XXXX&DEV_YYYY&(some more hex here)

thanks scancode, i'll download and try the drivers. just in case, the vendor id is 11C1 and the device id is 048C. i checked them earlier at pcidatabase.com but didn't know what to make of it.

[scancode]

the vendor id is 11C1 and the device id is 048C.

%AGERE3% = AGERE_PCI, PCI\VEN_11C1&DEV_048C

Seems it's your lucky day!

I sent you an e-mail with what I hope you're looking for.

Luck!

yes, WinXP accepted the drivers with no complaints at all.  maybe later i'll try some surfing on that PC.
