They all "were" nice comments. You should see me when I get on a roll. I was
trying to impress upon you that you didn't give us anything to work with.
Like you were keeping the necessary information a big secret. I plug it in
and it don't work "isn't very informative"!
Are you sure you don't have an on-board modem that has to be turned off
before you can insert another modem card? You didn't tell us that either,
but I have seen it numerous times. The interaction can cause all sorts of
problems.
Tell us everything. Need specs about M/B, modem card, other peripherals
attached. Did you try with everything taken out EXCEPT for the mode? Did you
try various slots?
Got the idea?
