I also meant your other hardware & chipset drivers.
Does your external modem have a reset btn/switch?
In Modems tried removing it then rebooting to let win reinstall it?

Thanks for responding. The modem is a KTX by Edge which are out of
business.
The latest drivers are pre XP and don't work. But the standard XP drivers
did.

I think the problem may be a different program tying up the port, perhaps
a
mistaken networking configuration, so am looking for a way to find out
what
appliction is using the port.

For lots of reasons, I recently reformatted my system disk and
re-installed
windows and programs. My previously working external modem installed as
standard 56k now can't be "queried", showing "the port that the modem
is
using is currently open by another application". MS fax shows no modems
installed and no port to install on. I can't find any applications
which
may
be the culprit, using services or event logs.

Any ideas?
