Animal, vegetable, or mineral: Is it an ISA "hardware"
modem? A bright, shiny, new PCI "Winmodem"?? Is it "Plug 'n
Play"??? Internal?  External??

NT 4.0 is a non-PnP OS. If you use an ISA PnP modem, you can
either jump the modem for non-PnP use or try to use the
special driver (pnpisa.sys ??). If you have a PCI Winmodem,
my best guess is that you _have_ to jumper it for non-PnP
(but its a beast that I've not wrestled).

I run Zoom 56k "hardware" modem, jumpered for non-PnP, on com2
irq 3 and 2f8 (NT WS 4.0 SP4).  As I recall, it wasn't too hard to
configure/test.

Hope this helps a bit ...
