PC Tel HSP56 MR Free Driver Download

erGuide.com is also referenced by Modem-Drivers.com for this SiS OEM modem manufactured by PC Chips. After the lengthy registration process (and numerous "free" offers), I searched for the appropriate driver and couldn't find the exact modem model I wanted. But, when I clicked on the "AMR v.1.2" link, the Uploader Notes indicated that this might be the only free driver download that specifies the this exact modem model used for an XP system. (The only other one I've found is for a Win98SE system.)

I took a chance and downloaded it. The transfer was quick and without a problem. I unzipped the file and selected the unzip folder as the source directory for the .inf file the Windows Hardware Installation Wizard was looking for. The modem installed cleanly. And, all though I don't have a land line phone to test it with, there are no yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager. And, the modem query tests successfully.

The only puzzling thing is that the modem installs as an "HSP56 MR" device (also by PCTel). I'm not sure why it changes names, or if this is actually the driver for a different modem and happens to be compatible. Either way, if you've searched everywhere as I have and found nothing else, I'd say GO FOR IT! Good luck!"
