I have it installed as a standard 56000 modem on COM1 - the only one available - but I try to communicate with it and it fails. I get the "verify that the interrupt for the port is correctly set" message. It is so long since I had to do this, I've forgotten how. Any one with long memories?	Tony (4941)

In XP, it is easy to add the PC fax function if it wasn't installed by default. Is PC fax only available in more expensive version of Vista? If so, that is a backward step from XP!	Geek4414 (12000)

I have it installed as a standard 56000 modem on COM1 - t I get the "verify that the interrupt for the port is correctly set" message . It doesn't like the driver . I doubt Vista will let you mess with the IRQs, even XP does it itself . Find a Vista driver for it or get another modem .	pctek (84)

Find a Vista driver for it or get another modem.I rather feared that would be the answer. I haven't managed to find a driver. I only need the modem so I can have fax facilities, and I can't actually remember the last time I sent or received a fax, so maybe I'll come into the 21st century and do without it. Go email!
