I have isolated the problem to the modems audio. When i
connect the modem to the server, add hardware wizard
comes up, browse to find driver (downloaded most current
from creatives website). It seems to get past installing
the modem, then hangs on "modem audio device" and the
system freezes with errors, edits mem dmp, then restarts.
My motherboard has onboard audio and I'm wondering there
is a conflict there. Any ideas...?
Thanks, Tony
