- I've this problem too and I solve it by manually setting the modem's
- IRQ to a com port that is not being used by other resources. Also, if
- you intend to install the modem to com 3, you should disable the com1
- in your bios. To install in com4 you should disable the com 2 in the
- bios. Hope this info. would help you.
