Hey all! Got bit of a dilemma here. My TNT2 works fine with the 3. 84e ASUS drivers. But I keep hearing good things about the 5. xx series. But every time I try to install them (5. 22, 5. 33) OpenGL dies on me.

Win2000 and voice modems?

Magicland
Does anyone know of any internal voice modems which work with windows 2000? Specifically looking for PCI modems, but if none will work, ISA will due for now. I also need to know what software anyone is using with these, as Symantec's Talkworks supposedly doesn't work under win2000 (according to symantec).
