sm56 pci modem does not work on Win xp. Plz Help!!!!

[amiava]

Hi,
I upgraded to Win xp and now my computer does not detect the motorola sm 56 modem. I got the latest drivers for XP from motorola site and installed them. It then picked up the modem but gives an error that the modem does not start. Plz help

Havn't heard about latest drivers from Motorola site! I read in DIGIT they stopped producing the chip and the support for it. I personally can't found any. But the drivers given with modem works. Driver for Win2000 will work for XP although it doesn't have MS certification. So it will give a warning. Just make sure you click in "Continue Anyway".

And can you please give the link for the latest driver in Motorola?

get the drivers for sm56 chipset from:
http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/sm56_download.htm

i also use winxp with sm56 chipset modem and the drivers work fine.
and btw Krishanu, motorola started support for sm56 again from June 2003.In fact, even Linux drivers are available now. The Win2K drivers dont work with Winxp.

[techno_funky]

well i have a suggestion to make KILL THE B*ST*RD USE WIN 98

[colonel]

U have modem which has a Motorola chipset. NO SUPPORT IS OFFERED FOR KABADDI MODEMS. If possible open ur window yell FORE and throw it. Otherwise login safe mode go 2 ur device drivers remove com2 and reallocate it to com4 Reinstall Keep fingers toes n eyes crossed. Maybe u will achieve Nirvana

Try the Version Released In 2000 named Version 84.40 for Motorola PCI Fax Data Modem.I also had this problem when i installed windows xp pro this january and it took me one full night to get the modem running.The Newer Versions on Motorola Webitse the Version 6.08 will not work with the modem.

[AcceleratorX]

When I have problems with modem detection, I open up the PC, pull out the darn modem, clean the modem and the PCI slot, and reinsert it. Then I reinstall the drivers, and everything's OK.

[agnels]

What Type of SM56 modem are you using??
Is it Data or Speakerphone modem?
If you update with Microsoft Update then it willl recognize your modem as Data Modem even though it is a SPEAKERPHONE modem.The modem then will be stuck while instaliing and unfortunately you cannont even rollback the driver.

I myself use a SM56 SPEAKERPHONE modem 6.4.0.0 , 30/8/2003
on Windows XP SP2

[jpushkarh]

Same problem i faced 17-24 months back. i have SM 56 Speakerphone modem. i downloaded drivers from....a.. from e-motorola.com site also with digital sign. i am using these from 2 years on Windows XP now with sp2

[: SPiRiT :]

Tell u wat if it still doesnt work.. Heres A trick....
Keep your dial up window open to a state where in your next choice is start dialing...Now comes the tough part.... you are supposed to plug in your tele cable to uer PC and press the dial button simultameously.....
