Modem help needed!

Hey guys,

My modem has to be reinstalled everytime i reboot. It's an external Ambient 56k modem that runs on the Cirrus chipset. Everytime I reboot the machine and try to connect, it says that the device is not ready and when I open the properties up, the modem is "Not Detected". I have to remove it and reinstall it again and it works.

Any way to fix this? I believe Windows thinks that the modem is gone as soon as I turn the power off, this didn't happen in my previous XP installation as evenif i had the modem switched off, it would still be there.

Help please!
