Lucent 5.54 firmware
Ed and Betty Garnett sent me this link saying their problems were
resolved after installing this upgrade to their modem. I have seen
this modem in many computers(I think Compaqs) that have come through
the office. When you are having connection problems with a customer,
please check Device Manager to see if they have this modem installed.
If so,direct them to our web site's tips section to read the
message below and download the upgrade to their modem.

*** TO INSTALL ***
*WARNING - While this software was designed for most Lucent LT-based
Win Modems, there may be exceptions. You can always return to the firmware
you are currently using IF YOU ARCHIVE the current drivers as follows:
Copy the LTMODEM.VXD file in your \windows\system folder to a backup
location.
(Note - Some installations may use the hidden file type on LTMODEM.VXD;
if that is the case, you may need to enable
Show ALL files in Explorer's folder/hidden file options.)
With modem554.exe it is BEST to run the .exe and let the Lucent SETUP
program run to complete the installation.
In some situations your modem may be renamed from a "LT Win Modem"
to a "Lucent Win Modem", and you may have to change some
dial-up networking parameters to use the new modem name.
Simply run this exe. It should automatically run setup, which will
remove the current modem and all its associated files, detect
the modem again, and install it with the new inf file.
