Here I am again with another hardware issue. I got a pair of Intel
hardware PCI modems - good price on e-bay ($9.95). Installation of one
modem went well; there was included software to support XP; modem runs
great. However, I wanted to use two modems with two phone lines in
mulitlink to increase my throughput. I had been doing this with some
older modems I had. Installed the second Intel modem and found that the
second modem did not work. Turns out that the modem is not bad, but when
two of these are installed in the same computer, problems happen. When I
tried to delete the non-working modem form the device manager display,
XP Pro crashed! This is perfectly repeatable on different system running
XP Pro.

Sinopsys: one modem runs fine. Two modems - big problems. Has anyone
else run into such problems with two PCI modems? Note that these are
hardware modems - not Winmodems. Any input would be appreciated. I don't
have a problem at the moment since I replaced one of the internal modems
with an external one, but I would still like to know why it did not work
with the two PCI devices installed.
