That really sucks because it seems that this IBM ISDN device is the
best on the market for mobile users, and I'd figure that there would
be Win95 drivers by now. I'd been tracking it for almost a year now
(I think its been out longer) and was well aware of the absence of
Win95 drivers according to the info on their WWW page, which made no
sense.
I wonder who they're marketing to, OS/2 users???
Anyhow, I hope you can return them and give them hell.
I know that I'm intending to use a USR Courier I-modem at home with
an ISDN line, and use the 701's internal modem for connections to
POTS service away from home. I'm just trying to figure out how to
get high-speed serial port in PCMCIA format (if such even exists) to
take full advantage of ISDN's speed and additional compression
throughput; hoping that there's a PCMCIA equivalent to the Hayes
serial-ESP IDE card.
If IBM had the Win95 drivers for their PCMCIA ISDN device, that
would be ideal.
Good Luck...
