Hi,
Try using Aida32 to determine exactly what 'communications controller'
(modem) it is.
One of mine ended up with me going to the Hp site to download a driver. I
would never have known if it weren't for Aida32. BTW its free. It will also
give you information about everything else on the system. A handy tool to
have.

Hope this helps

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.
