I did check this to make sure. The I/O and interrupts were different -
they were even different values altogether on my other system. However,
both exhibited the same behavior - one modem does not work, and if you
try to uninstall it, the XP crashes! It was the latter part that has me
particularly worried since XP is supposed to be a reliable and stable
system. Looks like it is not quite there - no place near as stable as NT
3.51 was.

Incidentally, I also checked to see if there were any possible conflicts
with other devices besides the modems. The two modems just don't work
together.

Interesting problem.

Since they are PCI, IRQ's are probably not the problem, but it might be
a
good thing to check to see that they aren't trying to use the same one.

Also check the I/O ranges and com ports to make sure there's not a
conflict. I use Win2k, and it will let you specify the com port in the
advanced settings for the modem. The I/O range can be found in device
manager. I'm assuming they both appeared in device manager?
