I have a small issue. We have ADSL USB modems that are a bit outdated and I cannot find any W7 drivers for them. So I was thinking that maybe if I run this in XP mode it would work. However when in XP mode I still cannot load the old drivers. I was not sure if loading drivers would actually work but I needed to give it a go. Any ideas on this welcome

You must be in Europe, at least there or South Africa or the UK.

Were the modems supplied by your ADSL provider?

Maybe they can help you out. I have never liked USB modems, too many issues.

Good Luck!

Thought of getting a new modem? They're not very expensive.

I have plenty of modems but that is not the issue. We use this for faulting when we do not have power available and it runs our faults diagnostics program as well
