Jeeze, skimmed right over that. Probably he's having a 
conflict between the built in second serial port. 
Tim, you should go into your BIOS and see which
ports are being used by your motherboard and set your
modem to a port above the last one used by it. Or as Brian
says disable com 2 in the BIOS. This'll probably make the
modem work.
