If you have an internal modem, it must be set for COM4 90%
of the time. Most computers have serial-port 1 and 2 already
built-into the computer. A serial port is just a built-in
comport. So you cannot set a modem to be the same comport (1 or
2). Try com4 then com3, see your manual for jumper settings.
There seem to be some video cards using the COM4
address, which causes the modem to fail on COM4. In that case try
COM3 with IRQ 5 or 2 (see your manual). *>> Don't forget the
software must also be told when you change IRQs. <<*
Sometimes one internal modem/or model of modem will work in
spite of a conflict, when set for COM1 or COM2 when there is a
serial port. Always try COM3 and COM4 (and IRQ settings) before
deciding the modem is bad.
