problem installing Winmodem on A7N8X-X
I am having a problem installing a Winmodem
in a newly assembled computer with an Asus A7NX-X board, Win 98SE and AMD Athlon 2600+ CPU. The Winmodem is a Boca WinStorm 57k and it functions in my older computer, recognizing a dial tone and dialing out. This computer also runs under Win 98SE; it has an Asus P2B board and a Pentium II 450. In the newer computer, using the Boca install CD, the modem is assigned to COM2 and the Device Manager reports that it is functioning normally. However the modem does not recognize a dial tone. In the older computer, which also has a USRobotics Sportster 57k modem (not a Winmodem) installed (in an ISA slot), the Boca winmodem is assigned to COM3\ & IRQ 5 andthe USRobotics to COM2 & IRQ3. But where is COM3 in the A7N8X-X. I can manually assign an IRQ to the Winmodem, but COM1 & COM2 are the only options , no COM3. Do I need to disable PnP in the BIOS before reassigning IRQs. Is there a preferred order of installing cards? Currently I have only a PCI video card & an Intel video card the latter functioning after a lot of fiddling. Thanks in advance for any advice.
