It used to be that, if you wanted to install an internal modem,
you needed to disable a com port in the computer's BIOS.
If this remains the case, have all com ports been disabled in
the BIOS?  . . . too allow installation of two modems(Or,
does a com port need to remain enabled in order for the
computer to even recognize a com device like a modem?
On this--and other stuff--I'm not so clear.)

HTH,
