Hope this is not OT, if you know a better group let me know.
I want to use an old PII computer and wish to install a 56k
internal modem. So I bought a PCI modem at ebay for cheap
and plugged it in. It was no problem to find the correct driver.
However when starting dialing I am reported that the modem
will not work because it requires extended MMX instruction sets,
which is not supported by the CPU.
CPU is an AMD K5.
So I guess that those two hardware components will not work
together.
Now my question is: Are there any 56k modems (either PCI or ISA)
which will work with the AMD K5? Where to get information about
this? And, if so, where to get such a modem for cheap?
Any help appreciated. TIA, Uwe.
