Funny. I find Vista a downgrade, but, YMMV :-))

Of course it is good to hear that your system runs fine, don't get me
wrong. Many folks seem to underestimate their systems, and forget about the
drivers, when they rush out to install the latest, hoping to get a better
user experience. In ran Vista 64 on a test-bed for a while, and it didn't
bring any improvements for us. The systems we use are not connected to the
internet, and that is where Vista shows it's teeth in the form of improved
security (well, supposed to). The cost of hardware upgrades to run Vista
has made us decide to not invest in Vista, but to keep them on XP x64.
Maybe in the future when it is time to upgrade, we might reconsider of
course.

My happiness would be complete if I could find a driver for my modem,
everything else is working very nicely.

Best suggestion is to get a standalone, old style, modem that requires
nothing from the PC but an old serial COMM port connection. On laptops,
that's getting hard to do. But on a desktop shouldn't be an issue. Once you
have a standard, "hayes compatible" modem, then almost anything can talk to
it. And you're free to stop worrying about drivers.

I agree completely but I'm STUBBORN! I've got a very good quality
Hayes Acura 56K fax modem that XP can run with it's built in drivers,
I'm sure somehow I'll find a driver for it.

BTW, I have a very nice USR external that I stopped using and don't
want to use with Vista. Why? Because my backup ISP is NetZero and
neither NetZero OR Juno will work with USR modems, can't recall why but
I do recall their tech support said that it was a known issue and using
a USR limited my speed to around 28k or so. They also said they have
absolutely NO plans to ever find or fix the problem.

I spend St. Patrick's day working on my sister's computer, some idiot
"fixed" it for her, said there was no way he could ever find a driver
for her modem (it was on the CD sitting right in front of him) and went
out and bought her a USR modem, I removed it, put her old modem back in
and her online speed almost doubled with Juno. Go figure? Anyway, the
June/NetZero/USR problem still exists apparently.
