Modem in new operating system

[PrinzEugen]

Hi - just thought I'd see what people thought. Have bought new hard drive due to space issues, and thought I might as well change to Windows 7 as I'd have to reinstall anything...

Now, I've currently got an Alcatel Speedtouch PCI modem - which has always worked really well for me. I don't really want to change to a wireless system particularly, if I can help it, and want to keep it going. Do you think it'll work ok with windows 7? The only drivers which are available are for XP. Is a modem a type of device or program which can be run in XP mode in windows 7 if the XP drivers don't work?

Any thoughts/experiences much appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the thoughts - I'm not really keen on a wireless router, and my adsl pci modem which works at up to 8mb/s is fine for me as that's all plusnet can manage in any case!
Hopefully when I come to put it together it will work, but I was wondering if anyone had the windows 7/speedtouch modem working.
