I looked up the modem on the net and it's ISA. also, keep in mind that any COM port & IRQ port on your motherboard needs to be turned off. I would suggest com3 IRQ and a higher IRQ value like 9 or so. That way nothing will conflict with your ports or IRQ's set by your motherboard. Especially if your using a mouse, which often takes COM2 IRQ 3. If you do decide to use a lower-COM port setting and IRQ setting, make sure you "turn-off" any COM ports and IRQ's that will conflict in *BIOS*. -cosmic665 >I suspect that a modem with that vintage, there will be some jumpers >that allow you to configure it to actual ports and IRQs.
