It has worked in the past, and yes, it's a valid modem (US Robotics
56K Fax PCI). The only Warnings in the Application logs that I can see
are:

Printer Driver Microsoft Shared Fax Driver for Windows NT x86
Version-3 was added or updated. Files:- FXSDRV.DLL, FXSUI.DLL,
FXSUI.DLL, FXSWZRD.DLL, FXSTIFF.DLL, FXSRES.DLL, FXSAPI.DLL.

which I take it is just recording the fact that I reinstalled it.

Thanks for responding!
