The only drivers I have for my modular USB modem are version 2.7 (the latest) for windows 98.
When I install windows 2000 will these drivers work?

That is difficult to answer not knowing what make and model of modem. There is no guarantee it will work sometimes w2k finds the drivers in its files, sometimes it will work with the older drivers after an upgrade.Post the model and make or do a search on or for updated 2000 drivers.

Modular technology doesn't support anything under windows 2000, currently they have a beta driver for windows 2000. This is available from their sit thecn click support, then drivers, then windows 2000.

Thankyou for that for some reason I missed that link. Not sure if I will use win2000 I will have beta drivers for both the modem and my soundcard. If I do upgrade I hope these drivers don't effect something like data on the hard disk or cause system crashes.
