Hi, a friend of mine has a older pc with windows 98 on it not windows
98 SE but windows 98 bought a modem for it at circut city it supports
windows 98 SE but not regular 98.Its a v92 modem the original I
beleive was a v 90.I have a 98 se disk but dont want to install it
because the pc doesnt have all the original drivers disks dont no if
that would be a problem or not.Can anyone recamend a modem that will
work ok in it for dial up?Probably better than putting another
operating system on it or if there is any other ideas that would make
it work like a generic driver that would fuction only for dial up dont
need the other options.Thanks In advance

Not sure I've ever run into a DUN modem that worked with 98SE and not
98(FE). In any case, this one works with 98:

I make that determination based upon this page:

Frankly, I think your friend just ran into the wrong modem and most likely
would have had no problem with any number of other modems being offered.
Then again... Has your friend tried the 98SE drivers?

(PS -- I have a dozen or two used ones that would work. Last resort, I'd let
one go for the cost of shipping, <s>.)
