>If I may ask, what com port is the first modem on, as well as it's IRQ and the IRQ of the second one. It seems like there might be a conflict in hardware settings (specially if they're in PnP mode). I would recommend hard setting them (throught the jumpers) to one odd and one even com port, or just changing the IRQ they're using.

The Sportster is hard wired on COM2 (2f8 irq 3) and the other modem is a PCI and can only run PNP. It uses it's own driver to install COM3 and had on conflicts. I cannot remember the exact numbers as we had to rip it out this morning. The server began to lock up ( I think from WinFax Pro problems but I removed the modem also just in case ). I have used these PNP modems sucessfully befor on other NT machines.
