Pete, OT... RE:"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." My greatest fear is that if I stick in the Actiontec winmodem I got for $5 after rebates at Compusa, everything will work fine and I will feel like a real idiot for paying $100 for the POS USR...<G> I hear the Lucent chipset in winmodems is very good...

RE:"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." Thank you very much. I printed that for future reference. DO I need to re-jumper the modem? Jim
