Downloaded drivers, restarted and new hardware wizard searched com port  1 
but found no modem. When I try to choose from a list, the model of this  modem 
isn't listed so the next step of loading the drivers from floppy reports  
"there are no drivers for this hardware in this location.
 
Should it be searching somewhere other than com 1?
 
A reminder: running Windows 98se
Oh... and there are no jumpers on modem
