v2.92.04ND Early V.92 drivers (Packard Bell are the perfect example, but others are the same) are suffering wierd connection problems with non-V.92 ISPs, such as AOL. Typical symptoms are a dropped connection with a call-waiting notification - particularly strange if your line does not have this feature active! These problems are easily fixed by either obtaining Smart Links' own latest driver (it is V.90, not V.92) or supplier's upgrade. v2.92.04 (Windows XP) Simon Zerafa advises resolves issues with BSOD's and PC reboots when using AOL v7.0 (see also here for other AOL 7 problems). To escape the catch-22, use the Control Panel applet (Modem Settings) - Modem Helper - Safe Mode to slow the modem to V.34 to allow download of the latest driver (unset SM after new driver installation). Some problems reported with some Cable companies in the UK due to the lower line-voltages employed compared with BT lines (sorry, no details).

| A soft Linux- or Windows-only AMR (Audio Modem Riser), CNR (Communication Network Riser) or MDC (Mobile Daughter Card) card that contains a programmable silicon DAA (Data Access Arrangement) from Silicon Labs but passes controller functions to the host-computer's OS & DSP (Digital Signal Processor) functions to the motherboard's DSP. Utilises an AC-link (AC97 2.1 compatible) AMR, MDC or CNR slot on appropriate motherboards. This modem is extremely popular within laptop computers, and also as an OEM (no-name) modem within desktop computers. Smart Link says that this modem is pronounced "Hammer". See also Ambient MD563X-HaM (a PCI controllerless modem).
