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.
A slot in your computer is NOT, has NOTHING to do with the COMport!
The COMport is what YOU set ON the modem, via jumpers.
