Modem trouble on Win2k

Ruu_Old · 2002-11-17 21:00:28

i just upgraded to Windows 2000 and ive got everything else running but me modem, its an Intel Ham Plus v.90. Its probably been answered before but anyway, i'll give it a shot. I have the driver for Win2k but it only installs it to COM1, which is the serial port and the modem is at COM4 , anyone? thanks :)

uninstall in control panels > system > device manager
shutdown
remove physically
restart ....does w2k install the REAL com1 now (the external serial port)
IF SO
shutdown
reinstall physically
restart
NOW where does it shove the modem seeing as COM1 was already taken up.
