Hi, I have a solution. If you go in device manager, click on the pci simple communications controller, go in property and then go in details. You will see a code like per example PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS...
In my case the pci simple communications controller was a Microsoft UAA Bus HD audio. I also had another pci device that didn't work properly, using the same method I found out that my pci device was an HSF PCI internal modem with code number CX11252-11. I had a hard time downloading one of the drivers, after 6 or 7 times the download started so be patient if you have the same hardware.

RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro netek (TechnicalUser)(OP)1 Nov 02 20:46butchrecon, when I went into the device manager to try and pull the info on the modem, it stated unknown in all fields except for "PCI Simple Communications Controller" RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro Accessdabbler (TechnicalUser)1 Nov 02 23:04Then open up the case, remove the modem and look for part numbers, etc. RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro ashpp (IS/IT--Management)4 Nov 02 09:12Hi,
Its probably a Riptide Audio/Modem combo try the driver

RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro netek (TechnicalUser)(OP)4 Nov 02 19:38AshleyPride, Thanks for the help,, I opened up the case yesterday since I had the time and found out that this is a Smart Modular Technologies modem. RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro ashpp (IS/IT--Management)4 Nov 02 20:07Yup its by Smart Modular Technologies and its called a Riptide. Did you try that driver? (If its not the correct one it won't install it). It worked fine for a 8750 I had. If that one doesn't work try

RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro netek (TechnicalUser)(OP)5 Nov 02 17:34thanks ash,, I'll try the drivers tonite and I'll let you know how it went... RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro pundle (TechnicalUser)8 Nov 02 10:26Well I didn't know what I was in for when I upraded from 98SE to W2K. Perhaps I shoulda looked at this thread first.
Upgrade because I couldn't get 98 to recognise my Digital Camera on the USB ports.
Now that works fine with W2K but surprise surprise the effin' modem won't work.
I have a Via Technologies mobo and an internal Askey Comp Corp PCI modem
It was previously working fine with the standard Conexant drivers on 98 but neither these or the 'Pucker' ones downloaded from Askey seem to work with W2K.
What in heavens name is the PCI Simple Communications Controller and what does it do?
Theres a pint in it for anyone with the correct annswer.
p.s. As the modem wont play I won't see an answer except at work. mon - fri 8 - 6 RE: PCI Simple Communications Controller for Windows 2000 Pro tlcscousin (TechnicalUser)8 Nov 02 11:48PCI simple communications controller is the modem. Reinstall the drivers for the pci simple communications controller and point to the modem drivers. If you have the proper drivers, after the controller is added it will find and install the modem itself. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030581151-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.

What is the PCI Simple Communications Controller? How to fix the PCI Simple Communications Controller driver issue? You come to the right place. Now, you can read this post from MiniTool to find the answers to the above questions.
What is the PCI Simple Communications Controller? The PCI Simple Communication Controller is a software component on a computer that is used to control PCI-connected devices inserted into the computer. PCI (Practical Communication Interface) is a hardware component built into the computer that allows various devices to be physically connected to the computer through separate card slots.
Although PCI allows devices to be connected to the computer, a simple communication controller is responsible for managing the actions taken by each device and how the software interacts with these devices.
Although a PCI-connected device may be installed on the computer, the computer may not recognize what the device is or what it should be used for, resulting in a yellow mark next to the device in the device manager. This problem can be solved by right-clicking on the device and updating its driver.
Step 4: After that, you can choose the Search automatically for updated driver software option, and Windows will search your computer and the Internet for the latest driver software for your device.
Microsoft Windows uses device drivers to communicate with hardware devices in the computer. One of the important devices in a computer is the PCI simple communications controller. If the PCI simple communications controller driver is not installed, the device will show an error. In addition, it can result in other devices depending on this device failing or not being recognized by Windows.
PCI is short for Peripheral Component Interconnect and it is a bus that is used to connect hardware devices to a computer. The bus is inside the computer, on the motherboard, so you will not see it, like a printer or mouse. But it is a critical component to enable communication between the CPU and hardware devices. The PC simple communications controller is a controller chip that is part of the motherboard chipset. The device manufacturer is Intel.
Instead of manually downloading and installing the drivers for devices like the PCS Simple Communications Controller, you can also use the Device Manager to update the driver. Especially in later Windows versions, many drivers are automatically installed.
If the automatic update fails, make sure you have an active Internet connection. If that is the case, the other option is to choose the option Browse my computer for drivers in step 4 and select the path where you manually downloaded the latest driver for the device.
As the use of technology continues to permeate every aspect of our lives. It is important for you to stay informed about some dangers that technology can pose to you, or your family and friends. One of those dangers is Driving While Texting or "Drexting". Please take a few minutes to review this information. If you have any questions or concerns about anything you are about to read, please feel free to contact Police Chief Andrew Winters at 717-838-8189
The popularity of mobile devices has had some unintended and even dangerous consequences. We now know that mobile communications is linked to a significant increase in distracted driving, resulting in injury and loss of life. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported in 2008 that driver distraction was the cause of 16% of crashes resulting in an injury - 515,000 people wounded. According to AAA, nearly 50% of teens admit to texting while driving. Distracted driving endangers life and property and the current levels of injury and loss are unacceptable.
Give Clear Instructions - Give teen drivers simple, clear instruction not to use their wireless devices while driving. According to CTIA, the easiest way to say it is: "On the road, off the phone". Before new drivers get their licenses, discuss the fact that taking their eyes off the road - even for a few seconds - could cost someone injury or even death.
Lead by Example - Children learn from their parent's behavior. No one should text and drive. Be an example for your children and if you need to text or talk on the phone, pull over to a safe place.
Become Informed and Be Active - Set rules for yourself and your household regarding distracted driving. Tell family, friends and organizations to which you belong about the importance of driving without distractions. Take information to your children's schools and ask that it be shared with students and parents.

Open-graded aggregates are compacted aggregates with relatively large void spaces not filled with intermediate-sized particles. These aggregates are becoming more common in road and bridge construction because they are easy to place, require simple testing for quality assurance, and have the advantages of very low fine particle content, lighter unit weight, free-draining characteristics, and low potential for frost heave.
State and local transportation agencies frequently use crushed, manufactured open-graded aggregates as structural backfill material for retaining walls, bridge foundations, and other ground improvement applications. However, the strength characteristics of this material are not fully understood or applied. Designers need to know the friction angle to account for lateral earth pressures and bearing resistance. But because of the large size of the standard American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) open-graded aggregates, this parameter cannot be measured with standard testing equipment. Instead, current practice is to select aggregates with low default friction angles, which can lead to overly conservative, less cost-effective designs.
