Modem Problems

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

I would guess that was a BIOS problem, if the external modem was not on a serial port. (e.g a USB modem). I would look for a
conflict on the port in device manager or system info. (start/run, type: devmgmt.msc or msinfo32)
