"This driver install fine under Windows XP on an HP Pavilion 6470Z with a RipTide PC80079 Rev C modem/fax/game/audio device (may possibly be called an All in One Modem, Fax, Audio, Game).

See also Microsoft Knowledge Base Article KB315342 - the link to HP in the article does not work, but this driver does.

"This driver did not work for the HP pavilion 6683 after removing all HP stuff and installing a full version of Win98se (win did not reconize the modem) try the win98.zip instead, it worked for me, it's a much smaller file to download as well."

"Trying to get Windows XP Home edition to recognize my internal Rockwall modem on HP Pavilion to enable access to the Internet so I tried this driver. Failed to do so. I put in a new NetComm modem ($AUS 40) which XP did recognise. Once on the Internet, I could download XP updates (including the SP package) and, after that, XP would recognise the Rockwall modem also. Now I

"BFG hit the nail on the head with this one. Niether Micro$oft or HP was willing to help with this driver. They kept saying it's a "no-go".Have XP Pro installed on a HP Pavilion 4550Z (previous OS WinMe), with a Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI Modem. Loaded this driver package through hardware add. Perfect install into system32 folder. Up and running within 5 minutes. Thanks

"This driver is the key if you're upgrading from WIN98 to XP and you have one of these unique combined sound cards and modems that HP installed in its Pavillion models. XP will post a yellow question mark in device manager calling it an unknown communications device. This driver will make your modem work again. Delete the unknown device from device manager and restart your

"BFG, you are my hero. That driver worked perfectly with my HP Pavilion 6545C with Win XP Pro. After I upgraded to XP, the modem did not work at all, but worked fine after I installed it through the device manager by right-clicking on the device, going to properties, clicking reinstall driver, and pointing to the folder I unzipped. My modem wasn't recognised as a modem, but

"Awesome! After upgrading my brothers PC to XP, it lost the modem driver, I tried everything including generic drivers and even the ones off the recovery CD for win2k and none would work. This one worked a treat though. I couldnt actually download it from here, but i searched for the filename on HP, and the driver was availble on the North American site. Thanks a lot"
