Modem not working in Xp- works in win98

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Thanks for reply.
Yes. I have confirmed from site that the drivers are
supports winxp.
If I let XP find the best driversuitable driver, it
detects modem as Best Data Modem and installs it. With
this, if I dial any number, modem hengs and stops
responding.

This is the only problem which stops me from using Win XP.

Any other suggession please.
Thanks again.

If this is all that's stopping you, go out and buy a new internal [PCI Plug -
in] modem.

They're only $15.00 and newer units will be fully certified for XP.
