Voyager modem & Windows7
Hi,
I'm considering upgrading my six year old WindowsXP machine to a (nearly) new Windows7 one, but have found out that the modem I was supplied with by Plusnet (well F9 at the time I think), will not work.
At least according to the official BT Voyager driver site: http://www.voyager.bt.com/usb_modems/voyager_105/downloads.htm
This, as you can see, although it doesn't mention Windows7 directly, does state that the Voyager 105 is incompatible with WindowsVista.
So the first question is, is this correct? Or is there a workaround of some sort, like there was to make the modem work with the final service pack for WindowsXP, especially as the voyager site clearly hasn't been updated for a while.
The second question then being will Plusnet supply a new modem/router free of charge to replace it?
If only to a customer who's been with them since 1997!!
On a similar note - just in case, PN don't value long term costumers - I seen to remember that there used to be a list of 'recommended' routers somewhere on the various PN site/s, but I can't find it now although I did find the set up guides for those PN do supply
Any help - not to mention a free router - would be most appreciated.

Just give us a shout if you want us to organise a new router for you.

Yes, please do that?
Especially as you didn't mention anything about my paying for one, not even the postage.
Do I need to raise a 'ticket' or can it be done from here?
