Kevin,

It is probably sharing an IRQ with another device.  Click Start - Settings -
Control Panel.  Then double click the System icon.  Click on the Device
Manager tab and view the Properties of every device. Make a note of the IRQ
used by each one and make sure the modem is not using the same one.  You
should also go onto US Robotics web site when you get connected and look for
any tips they may have about uninstalling and reinstalling the modem
drivers.  That modem (Winmodem) is a little different because it depends on
your processor for some of its intelligence.

Good luck,
