We do use some MultiTech Modems:
 MODEM MULTI-TECH SYSTEMS MT2834ZDXI/0314B
 MODEM MULTI-TECH SYSTEMS MT2834ZDXI/0316D
 MODEM MULTI-TECH SYSTEMS MT2834ZDXI/0317I
However, I havent seen nay other software for them.. are these utilities 
available on the net?
We also use   |(Banksia MyModem FaxModem ||MultiTech 2834ZDXI)|
