Where to find the Agere Win Modem Driver (Formerly LT Win Modem Driver or Lucent Win Modem Driver):
Modemsite.com has 'generic' Agere (Lucent/LT) Win Modem Drivers available for download here (requires Premium Access). The latest generic driver is 8.30 and supports all modems based on the 'LT' chipsets, and all Windows operating systems including Win9x,Me,NT4,2K and XP. This driver supports V.90 and lower protocols with all chipsets; V.92/V.44 is supported only with Mars3.2 chipset. Modemsite's LT Driver Section also has updated Modem-on-hold applet version 1.76. Modemsite maintains 'Readme' files for the various driver releases - the 8.30 readme includes information on notebook install problem/solution.
LSI/Agere's website has generic driver version 8.30.
8.31 driver - may be offered by Microsoft Windows Update or supplied by system manufacturer. The 8.31 driver was a special build for an Agere customer that fixes an obscure problem not likely to be encountered by most users. Because this driver did not undergo the testing normally done with general driver releases, Agere is not making this a general release and it won't appear at Modemsite. So, why is it on Windows Update? [When a driver is submitted to Microsoft's WHQL for testing and driver signature, the submitter indicates whether the driver is to be made available via Windows update.] Should you upgrade to 8.31? [It's safer to stay with 8.30.]
LT Driver Downloads from Modemsite.com - including LT Modem-on-Hold 1.76, 1.72, 1.71, 1.70, 1.68 and 1.64 for V.92 modems, as well as old and new generic drivers. Download of these drivers is a premium feature available with your ad-free access code. This download area also has a zipped 6.04 package that will work with Windows Me, 2K and XP.
8.30 8.28 8.24 8.22 8.18 8.17 6.0 5.97 5.92 5.87 5.75 5.70 5.66 5.65 5.54 5.53 5.49 5.44 5.43 5.39 5.32 8.10 8.20* 6.04* 8.02-special for disconnect on call waiting with V.90 modems
* - 8.20 and 6.04 are designed for WinXP and should work in WinXP, 2K, and Me, but not Win9x or NT.
Windows Update - Caution! As of 7-Oct-03, the Microsoft Windows Update site may offer version 8.30. In Mar-03, Microsoft added driver version 8.27 to Windows Update for XP. 8.27 is a special build that disables V.92 and V.44 to prevent a rare compatibility issue that will be addressed in a later release. This isn't a good choice for anyone wanting to use 'the latest and greatest'. XP users may find this driver automatically installed depending upon Windows Update settings! Also see: 22-Mar-03 V.92 News.
The latest version may not work as well as older versions for some people. Use the version that's best for you & archive your current version. If you are getting 28.8k or lower connects with old driver, the new driver might give you a big boost -or- it might cause you to get an even lower connect rate. If you get a lower connect with the latest driver, see Trouble with the LTon this page, the Troubleshooting Page, or revert back to the older driver you were using before the update. The handshake sound has changed with version 5.49.
Note: With driver version 5.44 & higher, the .inf file renames the modem from'LT Win Modem' to 'Lucent Win Modem'. If your modem is renamed, you will need toadjust Dial-Up Networking connections.
* - The 6.04 (and 8.12) generic, as well as some vendor-specific downloads are available from the Windows Update Site for WindowsXP. If you have XP and a Microsoft-recognized LT modem, the Windows Update Site should allow you to download these drivers when you scan for updates. If you are not running XP, it appears to be impossible to get this update from Microsoft - see the 16-Feb-02 Latest Update. (The package is available as a zipped file from Modemsite.com's Premium Access Content.) The driver package does not include support for Win9x, or NT. See THIS PAGE for more information.

Connect the modem to the computer and run the file DriverSetup.exe (For both Windows 64 bit and 32 bit edition drivers will be installed automatically) (Drivers are installed in the background, so you will not see any installation process, just wait 20-40 seconds and it will be automatically finished ). Download Huawei Modem Drivers v4.25.11.00.

Note about 5.66 & later upgrades!

The 5.66 (and later) has a new installation program that supports Win95/98/NT4 & 2k, and I've received a number of reports (although from a very small minority of LT owners) of problems with the setup. Nearly all users who have reported these problems are (a) able to revert back to an older driver version, and (b) able to upgrade to the new version using my .vxd upgrade/copy method. Improvements have been made in the installation with subsequent updates, however, some users may still experience installation issues using the Lucent setup program. Windows 2000: You may have to update the modem using Win2K device manager - the setup program might not do it.

Lucent Win Modem

Note about 5.75 upgrade: There is a problem calling CISCO Mica server modems running (beta) 2.7.1.x firmware. A V.90 connection cannot be negotiated. If your ISP uses this equipment & firmware, you can either force a K56Flex connect ( s38=1-v90=0 ) or go back to 5.70 or earlier. V.90 connections to CISCO Mica 2.6.2.x firmware are not affected. Update 12-Nov-00: Cisco has released 2.7.2.1 Mica code to address 5.75 interoperability. 5.75 should work to Cisco modems updated to 2.7.2.1.

Note about 5.87 upgrade: The driver in Microsoft WDM-compliant for Win98, 2k & Me. There is a problem with some Windows95 machines that attempt installation of the Me WDM driver instead of the 5.87 .vxd. See the 5.87 Readme for further info.
