But when going to use it it says can't detect make sure switched on or installed correctly. In system it says device is working properly?? I have also tried setting jumpers to com 1 and com 2 but no good same response, if I was to install on com 2 should I disable it(serial port 2) in BIOS or should I select an IRQ & I/O address?? I looked in computer properties to see what is free but nearly all IRQ's are in use; some by unknown device?? Any ideas cheers	Guest (0)

If you set it to com2 as I have, you will need to turn off com2 in the bios (installing as com2 also gives you a free irq the plug and play would have used) If you use it as plug and play you will have to change the port address to 330 and try different irq numbers, some modems will only dial on irq5 and irq10	Guest (0)

If your modem is set to COM2 as suggested above, issue this command from the DOS prompt: echo atdt1234567 >com2 <enter> where 1234567 is a phone number, say your ISP's. Then listen to hear if your modem dials out. Cheers	Guest (0)
