18895	2001-09-16 04:13:00	I have just built a new system Made up of the following ... -EPOX Epox 8KTA3 Pro ATX System Board,Onboard Sound -AMD 1400 Thunderbird Processor - GeForce 256 MX 200 Video - 256 Mb RAM - 40 Gb Fujitsu HDD - WIN98SE -Skymedia SM200D -Realtek 10/100 Ethernet Card - Everything runs fine and dandy except my GVC external 56k V/F/M !!! I connect it to an available com port (either 1 or 2) I try to find the modem (auto detect) I see the lights on the modem flash but win 98 se comes back and says there is no modem found I install the modem manually selecting the com port I have the modem connected to and when I run a diagnositic on the modem it says there is something wrong with the modem I have verified that the modem does work as I have connected it back to my old machine and it works fine Pleae Help I am at a loss as to why this is happening	Guest (0)

18898	2001-09-16 08:02:00	Have tried that Com1 is set to 3F8 Com2 is set to 3E8 There is no other references to Com Portsd in the Bios As far as I can see it all works I can see the lights flash on the modem when the OS is detecting the modem but it comes back and says it cant be found	Guest (0)
