Any software come in the box with this unidentified PCI modem?
Try going through the software installation prior to plugging in the modem.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Installing modem problem

Installed a PCI modem on a XP Pro machine and when New Hardware Found came
up it said found "PCI Simple Communications Controller". Would not install,
went to Device Manager, uninstalled the unknown. I removed and used a
different modem, same thing happened. I've installed many modems before
without any problems. Why does it come up PCI Simple Communications
Controller when it's a modem? Both were working modems when removed from
previous XP machines.
Any suggestions,
Jim Dirksen
