- I have a Presario 982 (Pentium 90), with an internal 14.4 modem,
- as well as an external SupraFAX 28.8. I did no disabling of any
- sort, and now my internal modem is on COM1, and the external
- is on COM2.. both are addressable... Its nice having a backup
- modem ... sort of a portable backup modem IN the machine, and
- my nice hi-speed external I can just plug in.. I'm confused..
- The machine referred to in the quoted article will not
- recognize anything in addition to the internal modem?
