Modem Not Working

I can not get my 56Kflex modem to work. When I install it, it says it was installed successfully, but when I go to diagnostic and ask for more info it says that may the interrupt is wrong. I've got it on com2 and also tried com1,3&4. There are no jumpers on the modem, must be software controlled. Modem brand is PCTel, Inc. I do not seem to have any interrupt conflicts. The modem was working before I decided to reformat the hard drive and reload win95B. Thanks in advance. Mike

One thing that may help is if you have only one serial port enabled in bios. But, it doesn't sound like you've changed anything there, so this may not be of any value.

The modem is now working. The problem apparantly was a bad install of win95. I reinstalled and now okay.
