Matt,
I'm going to admit I've never seen a USB port and I wasn't there.
According to him, the modem turned out to be a USB and not PCI as he
thought. When he discovered this (after it would not connect) he
downloaded a USB support patch from M$ and installed the modem next to
the AGP card. <It's my understanding that W95 really doesn't support
USB.> He then changed the settings as the USB and AGP were in conflict
on IRQ 11. The results were rather instantaneous. AGP didn't work
properly; there were many GPF errors; W95 wouldn't reinstall and finally
a series of "blue" screens which culminated in a reformat. Truthfully it
didn't *sound* right to me, but I didn't know why until I asked
Civileme. You are all the greatest!
