I have installed a couple of Winmodems.  I am sure most will agree with me
that they can be quite a pain.  Of all the ones I have installed, I have had
to disable COM2 on the motherboard and set the modem up on this COM port.  I
am sure there is another way to do this, but after 20 hours of trying
(litererally) I gave up and left them this way.  Hope this helps.
