Question : Problem: Modem Installation Internal

Hi,
recently I installed an internal modem into my computer which I got off someone and did not have drivers for.
since it has two slots for the connection and was sort of like my other internal modem I installed the NetComm Drivers for it but when I tried to connect to the internet I got an error about the port being in use. this was when the modem was installed on COM3.
I am not sure whether the drivers are incorrect or the modem is faulty. On the modem i couldn't find much helpful information about it. on what looked like the chip it has

R556/SP-PCI 11P1
R6793-21
9852-8712555
Mexico

If anyone could help me get this modem installed and working I would be very pleased.

PS. When I first put the PCI card in and booted win95 it came up with the new hardware installation dialog about installing a PCI device so it detected the modem ok, just doesn't work with the drivers.

Answer : Problem: Modem Installation Internal

Delete 'COM2' from 'Device Manager".
Shutdown, reboot, and enter BIOS-setup mode.
Select "Integrated Peripherals" (or something like it),
and "disable" the motherboard's own "COM2" port.
Save-and-exit from BIOS-setup.
Windows will now move the modem to 'COM2'.
(Your serial-port mouse, if you have one, will still use COM1.)
Then, try your modem.
