I am having a problem installing a Winmodem
in a newly assembled computer with an Asus
A7NX-X board, Win 98SE and AMD Athlon
2600+ CPU.

The Winmodem is a Boca WinStorm 57k and
it functions in my older computer, recognizing
a dial tone and dialing out. This computer also
runs under Win 98SE; it has an Asus P2B board
with a Pentium II 450.

In the newer computer, using the Boca install CD,
the modem is assigned to COM2 and the Device
Manager reports that it is functioning normally.
However the modem does not recognize a dial tone.

In the older computer, which also has a USRobotics
Sportster 57k modem (not a Winmodem) installed
(in an ISA slot), the winmodem is assigned to COM3,
the USRobotics to COM3.

Should I try to specify COM3 for the Winmodem on
the A7NX-X board? Does it require the manual
assignment of the IRQ # in the BIOS?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
