If a DSL modem is connected through a pci lan adapter you don't need any
drivers for the modem. You "may" need drivers for the lan adapter though.

If the DSL modem is connected via a USB connection you will need drivers
from the manufacturer.

Hi,

I am considering upgrading my Windows Xp To Windows Vista, but first I
need to a Vista compatible driver for my ADSL modem, because otherwise
I won't be able to connect to the internet any more.

My modem is from ASUS, model nr AAM6000UG/D. I filled in a contact
form on the ASUS website asking if they have a Vista modem, but answer
was negative. They don't mention if they are working on one, or are
going to. I'll try filling in a form again, asking just that.

But, my parents have an Thomsom (previous Alcatel) SpeedTouch USB
modem which they don't use any more. I could use their modem, if I can
find Vista drivers for it. But I can't find them either. They only
thing I do find is a dutch page (http://www.speedtouch.nl/
vista_info.html) mentioning that a driver for Vista will be available
soon. But I don't know what soon meens for them: within a month?
within 6 months? within a year?

Anyone using one of these modems and looking for (are maybe found)
Vista drivers as well?
