Internal? If so, what com port do you have it on? Also, if
it's on com 1 or com 2, do you have the on-board com ports
enabled in BIOS? If so, and you're using one of those com
ports for the internal modem, you need to disable the one
that's duplicating the internal modem. i.e. your modem is
using com 2, you need to disable the on-board com 2. Also,
if using com3 or com4, you could have an IRQ conflict as
com1 & 3 share an IRQ and com2 & 4 share an irq. Either
relocate the IRQ for the internal modem or disable the
conflicting COM port.
If it's an external, ignore everything I just said. :-)
