- Try setting the modem to COM3 and change the IRQ to some other IRQ,
- say like IRQ 5. Then, in Windows, goto Control Panel, Select COM
- ports, Select COM3, Select Advanced and change IRQ to the IRQ level
- that you used. Then, Windows will prompt you to restart. After
- restarting, try getting into terminal and talk to the modem.

- Hope this helps!
