Re: How may I check the driver version intalled for my faxmodem?

I have an old Hayes Accura faxmodem that is supposed to support caller ID.
It doesn't seem to do so.

I am appealing to readers here for help in verifying what DRIVER version I
have installed for this device. My inspection under "Device Manager" is
unconvincing. Though I have supposedly installed the latest driver,
provided currently on the Zoom website (Zoom bought Hayes years ago), I
see
no change apparent. Of course, it is possible that I have had the latest
driver installed all along, which might explain why my "before and after"
conditions are unchanged.

Nevertheless, I am asking for ways to find out what DLLs, etc., are in
service for this faxmodem. Where might I inspect my file tree? How about
my registry?

I have the exploded installation kit for the latest driver, with some
telltale filenames. It would be great if I could see some semblance of
that, installed in my registry.

Thanks.

Below is the message I submitted to Zoom Tech Support. I am not
optimistic
for much help on such an old faxmodem...
Please help me to get my old Hayes faxmodem to honor caller ID. It is
supposed to do this, and has the appropriate AT command (+VCID=1). Yet my
testing with HyperTerminal indicates no interpretation of incoming caller
ID
information. I have a telephone which readily interprets the same
information, verifying that such information is coming into my residential
phone.

I went through the process of updating driver. H810 then H812 versions, as
directed, rebooting frequently. Yet my inspection of driver status under
Windows "Device Manager" yields no apparent change of driver. Still shows
"Microsoft 5.00.2195.6655" dating to 1999.

What salient identification might I expect to see, upon successful
installation of the 'H812 driver?

Any advice appreciated.
