Where is "Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool"?

I just looked up the modem that is I chose for my XP desktop, and my Zoom PCI plus 56k (2920) hardware based modem is not windows 7 compatible! all their other modems that are either softmodems or are controllerless are still compatible tho. that is really messe up. I am planning building a new PC soon, and am planning on reusing several components (the MB I have lined up has 3x PCI slots). There seems to be a trend of the both M$ and the hardware industry trying to push consumers away from hardware based PC components. I prefer to have my different parts of my PC (sound, video, networking) do their own work, and not rely on the CPU to do their work for them before passing it back to the different components (video, sound, networking). there is really no reason what so ever why my modem should not be able to work under win7. the only limiting factor that I see is the lack of drivers for zoom. I know for a fact that the modem does work under win7 as I had the modem working while running the last win7 beta when it was released on my Athlon XP desktop (where the modem resides). there 32-bit vista drivers for the modem. maybe someone can provide a reason (other than speculation) as to why there are not any 64-bit drivers for hardware based cards.

With modems that may or may not work, I have tried older OS drivers that will usually work.  Sometimes 32 bit drivers will work when 64 bit will not, or 64 bit drivers not available.

More importantly than what happened to the tool, does anyone know how I can deal with the problem it was supposed to be for? My Windows 7 help says that some modems are not compatible with Windows 7 and the tool can check that.

so we can't really use EasyConnect in Windows 8.1 on Surface 2? Why the remote assistance tool has been so difficult to use, when Teamviewer could do it so easily?

Since the link in the Remote Assistance tool is a "go" link, one would think MS could at least replace the landing page with something that explains that it's no longer available. So much for customer friendliness, especially since the users having the problem are most likely to be needy, or they wouldn't be on remote assistance in the first place.
