    on my comp i have a basic modem but sometimes when i try to connect it will say "this phoneline is not analog and only analog phonelines allowed" or that "modem cannot detect a dial tone" but if i try two or three times it connects, can this be a compatibility problem? can i download a driver update that will take this problem away? if so where can i find this download at?thx a bunch

    Might just be the line itself, and there's not much you can do about it. Try a new telephone cable to the wall jack.
    As far as drivers go, whoever made the modem is who you want to look at. You might also have some success if you hit up WindowsUpdate.com too.

    If your after drivers for a specifically hard to find, old or rare piece of hardware try out http://www.driverguide.com/ username is "drivers" and password is "all" excluding the " of course. it has alot of good old drivers and such, careful tho sometime people upload Bullsh*t drivers or malicious software etc. just make sure the driver has good reviews before getting it.
