Broadcom BCM Modem (Updated 7-Jan-05)
Broadcomis identified as the vendor of the 'BCM V.90 Modem' aka BCM 4211 Series. They also make a 4413 multi-function chip that provides soft modem and 10/100mbps ethernet functions. The BCM 4212 series, used in Dell and Gateway machines, is a V.92 soft modem. Broadcom, formed in 1991 by ex-TRW executives, has absolutely no information on its analog modem product on its website which focuses on new, exciting broadband solutions. The 42xx series chips also support home PNA networking (local area networking using existing telephone wiring).
Broadcom analog modems are software-driven controllerless solution. While Broadcom does not directly sell or support analog modems, the software that makes them work is developed or licensed by Broadcom and released to its customers. It's customers are the OEMs that make the actual product. These OEMs often sell the product to other OEMs, which in turn sell them through various channels that eventually reach the end user. This model provides no reliable method of support for the product which I suggest avoiding.
BCM modems are being bundled by PC makers including Gateway and Dell. The Gateway version is supplied as a combo card that includes home network and modem capabilities. Gateway has released V.92 drivers 3.4.x & 3.3.x that should work with all Broadcom-based modems (driver version for Windows 98, NT, Me, 2K, and XP). The older driver is for WindowsMe only. (Gateway - version 3.2.09.04) Applicable Gateway Part Numbers:
6001618, 6001761, 6001856 Combo V.90 Modem and 10-Mbps Home Phoneline Network Adapter
6001619, 6001762, 6001857 Combo Low Profile V.90 Modem and 10-Mbps Home Phoneline Network Adapter

Creative/BroadXent DSI Di3631 modems use Broadcom chipset.
Microsoft's Windows Update may update or offer and update for your modem. Note that earlier drivers used BVRP Net-Waiting software to provide modem-on-hold; the new drivers have it 'built-in' (the driver runs ESSSPK.exe to handle MoH). The NetWaiting software should be removed (using ControlPanel->Add/Remove Programs) before updating to the 3.5.24 driver.
Dell Windows drivers & documentation for the BCM include:
Newest - V.92 Data/Fax/Voice version 3.5.25for Windows 2000 & XP.
Note: Prior to this version, V.92 Modem-on-hold required 3rd-party BVRP software. With this driver version, BVRP MoH software should be uninstalled prior to driver install/upgrade. This driver version has MoH built-in to the driver.
Older - V.92 Version 3.5.24
V.92 Version 3.5.22

Upgrading Modems that were originally supplied as V.90: V.92 upgrades can be achieved by updating to a V.92 driver. If your original modem supplier doesn't offer driver upgrade, check the PCI ID of your modem, and locate a V.92 driver that supports that PCI ID. (In some cases, it's possible to 'add' support for a PCI ID to a driver by editing the .inf file and adding the 'unsupported' PCI ID.)
