A friend's father has just acquired an old PC and wants to see what the internet is like, but cannot connect. Every time he tries to link to the net the PC says 'hardware failure'. I have checked the modem, which seems to be fine, but cannot find any drivers for it as it has no brand name and it refuses to play ball if I just use 'standard 14400/28800/33600/56000kbs connection' etc.
Any ideas, or should I tell him to buy a new modem?
