Dear Jim: Yeah! I have used USR modems in the past including two POS USR Sportster externals. I will never buy another USR modem again. The Couriers are also way over priced. I can get a Lucent Worldcom modem that has many more features including line monitoring for LESS! My only internal ISA was a Cardinal (uses USR 56k chipset) modem. The modem currently serves my brothers wife just fine. Pete PS: If you are really determined to use the ISA modem, simply set in the motherboard BIOS that IRQ 5 is assigned to ISA. Then boot your system and open control panel. Then open the system icon, select the ISA modem, click on properties, resources, and manually set it to IRQ 5. Do the same for your dialer, if necessary. You should have no problems with the modem now.

OT Jim, re:interrupts That's what I had to do- what Pete suggested. I run several different operating systems, and letting the motherboard and O/S fight over interrupts reared it's ugly head occasionally. I set my NIC card and slot to 10 and my internal modem and slot to 5. Also my ASUS shares some interrupts between slots, I would guess your K7M does too. On my ASUS K7V you cannot have the NIC in 4 and the internal modem in 5. It tries to set both interrupts to the same. I had to move the NIC to 3 and the modem in 5. It should say in your manual about the slots and sharing of interrupts. steve
