I recently purchased an IBM Thinkpad 701CS from IBM credit. Upon arrival of my new computer, I formatted the hard drive to get rid of preinstalled software and installed Windows 95. Everything worked well except my modem. The machine specifications state that the computer has speakerphone capabilities, but the Windows 95 software I installed only detected data and fax capabilities. I also tried Windows 3.11 software with no luck. After several other ideas I posted a message on IBM's AOL forum and a tech answer saying that I needed to use the special version of Faxworks that came with the computer. I downloaded the program from IBM's website and installed it only to run into more problems. First, Faxworks would case a GPF every time I tried to run it and second, Faxworks adds its own comm.drv to the INI files disabling my dial-up connections.

        If you have heard or come across a solution to my problem, please e-mail me, (o-n-a_at_bridge.net), at your earliest convinience.

Thank you.
