Nick, have you tried physically moving the card into another slot to see if it pulls (polls the bus for) a different IRQ? Often times the top slot and the bottom slot of the PCI bus is shared with an onboard device's IRQ. Also go into the bios and disable the motherboard's Com 2 if it not being used. That should free up IRQ3. Hopefully the modem will use that. Try this to see what the hardware devices' preferred IRQ's are. I am sure there are other methods of getting PnP info but this one works fine for me and I have found it to be fairly accurate in identifying devices too: http://www.hwinfo.com Ciao, Dave
