Does anyone use their modem? Anyone else have problems ? I've got a M6809 eMachines with XP, and have never had any problem with the ethernet or wireless.l
However, I wanted to use the dialup service my DSL also provides to send a fax every once in a while. The conexant modem is shown to have the proper drivers, Windows says it's enabled, but I can't query it, and can't connect out.
Even when disabling the video ( which shares irq22), Windows gives me an error code error 000005aa.
I upgraded the Via chipset drivers, but I'm pretty sure it's a conexant issue.
Unfortunately, there's no PCI device tweaking in the tinkertoy bios that comes with these eMachines laptops.
That's the only criticism I have of these otherwise awesome laptops.
I'm guessing Arima does the actual bios lockdown, and then eMachines or Gateway put their logos on.
