Windows 3.1/3.11WFW compatible modems.
So, now that I have got the desktop machine, my issue with sound, and and the optical drive are solved.
The only thing that is missing is a modem. I am having trouble finding modems out there on the internet that are compatible with Windows 3.1x.
The machine only has one serial port, and that is occupied by the mouse.
I need either a comaptible:
- Internal Modem (preferably ISA but PCI would work as well)
- An ISA or PCI card that would give me more serial ports, and a compatible external modem.
Because of where I live, out of town, on my other machines I always connect at 26400bps, so a 28.8k or 33.6k modem would be perfectly fine, no need for a 56k as it wasn't around then, and I can't take advantage of it anyways,

What you want for a desktop machine, is either a nice external RS232 Serial modem (any brand of 28.8 - 56k should work fine), or a better quality ISA card - i would probably look for a US Robotics brand.
Anyone know where to buy jumpers?
most are like $50 for shipping, even from the US to Canada, shipping a card like that, is not actually worth $50.
Would this work? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/USRobotics-Model ... 2629079639
I'm guessing that red thing with 12345678 replaces the jumpers?
They're called DIP switches: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP_switch
So I assume it should work with WIndows 3.1 or WFW.
