If so there ARE OS/2 drivers for some Lucent models. It is a Agere modem, which I believe is what Lucent became. I have tried the Lucent drivers but they don't work. But I do have a PCMCIA modem running, so not a problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 06:51:21 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: eCS 1.1 So if the "entry" version is supposed to be at W4 CP2 level, this "bonus CD" must also come with the entry pack then. I only ordered the entry pack as I didn't need / already have the apps, so I'll see what I get (hopefully today). From what Mark said, the packaging is his work, and only on the Australian distributed product. By the reactions I'm seeing here, it seems everyone likes the packaging, so well done Mark !

They're DVD-cases - much better - and easier to remove the CDs - a good move by Mark.

If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I'll be calling Mark to see when he sent it. Don't you love Australia Post ? Yes I run SS 1.7.1 (but normally I use Star Office). I believe I've heard that Open Office (star office v6) runs OK via Odin on OS/2 but I haven't tried it yet. Acrobat v 4.05 for OS/2 is a new product, not yet fully released so I wouldn't expect it to be with eCS 1.1 Cheers/2 Ed.
