Can't find modem!

I lost the mother board in a storm and had a tech replace it under warenty,
but after he left I tried to go on line and the message no modem located came
up. I've tried to get back with the support people but it's almost
impossible. It's a Compac with xp home. What if anything can I do? I'm about
ready to take it back and stick.......... .......!!!!!!!

Wrong group (this is a .NET programming group), but first, look in Device
Manager (Right-click on My Computer in the Start Menu -Properties ->
Hardware -Device Manager) and look for a modem. If one is listed, you'll
need to install the drivers which you should be able to download from
Compaq. No modem listed? Are there any unknown devices? Again, drivers may
solve your issue.
The other (and, most logical) option is to contact Compaq tech support. It's
possible the new motherboard is not identical to the old and lacks a modem.

Thanks for the responses. I will look into using PySerial for talking to the modem as suggested by Peter. The code example I gave is probably not the best way to do it, but it seemed to work ok (after running the diagnostics program). How do I "test for the modem prompt" and "confirmation after any outputs"? Any pointers as to "the correct way" to dial a number and read the responses from the modem (ie to see if the number was dialled,...

Sometimes I hear the MODEM dialing and I don't know why. Is there some way I can use VB to tell which program is causing it? I'm on a LAN so it may be a remote program. Thanks

My D-Link DSL-302G modem/router has a real-time clock whose settings are volatile. To avoid hand keying the date/time via the modem's JS interface, I wonder if there is a way to copy the JS code to the hard drive and modify it to automatically retrieve the PC's date/time. I could then add the hacked JS page to my browser's bookmarks. I've already successfully modified and adapted other modem menus, but I don't know how to go about this...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
