its a software modem it needs to be on irq 5 or less or it will simply not work had the very same problem with the very same modem :( it requires a bit of jiggling in device manager to swap the irq's about :)

and on com port 3 or 4 usually this is done in the control panel modem settings as most software modems install their own device controller in control panel :)

yeah its the same as the connextant HFC just badged different if u have the driver disk with it use that and use the installer on the cd as this is the fastest way to get it up and running :)

like i also said tho jiggle the resources about in device manager to get it to 5 or below 5 is what i used to have mine set to :)

You may also need to go into device manager to get it going.Sounds like the same modem I had many moons ago. Mine used Com port3.I remember it as being a pain too.;)

yeah possibly remove any other pci devices apart from the graphics card if this is pc install the modem and get it working then reinstall the other cards :)

just swap it in the slots untill you get it to work in the right irq settings :)

coms 1 and 2 are mouse usually is on com1 and com 2 is usually external serial com port... everything above tends to be fine 3 and 4 being usually the norm but 3,4, or 5 should work ok :)

usually their is a setting in control panel or in dialup networking in control panel under the modem device settings ?! :)
