    Hello,

    i want to hear your advice regarding quering whether a modem installed
    in a computer.

    1. i wrote in the past simple script to check in the registry - gives
    alot of false positives.
    2. i need it to work on win95,98,win2000(xp if possible), since i'm
    going to distribute it to check all the computers in the network for
    modems.

    several ways i'm familiar with:
    1. use perl with com port module (problem: not sure it'll support all
    systems, needs virtual driver etc..).
    2. VB/VC microsoft comm activex (got problem with license??? i run
    microsoft fix, it didn't help)
    3. listing all HW devices (i didn't see a way for doing this (vbs)).
    4. using initialize modem (running from script)...how??

    Best Regards,
    Eitan Herman.
