What is the "Generic Modem" Windows Driver?

The "Generic Modem" driver refers to a basic, default driver used by Windows to interface with modem devices that may not have a specific manufacturer-provided driver or when the modem doesn't require proprietary software. This driver is typically used for dial-up modems or basic mobile broadband modems.

Windows often assigns this "Generic Modem" driver when it detects a modem device, but a manufacturer-specific driver isn't found or installed. This default driver allows the system to communicate with the modem, but it may not provide full functionality like advanced features, configuration options, or enhanced performance.
