It is ossible this is an IRQ problem, or even a DMA problem. On my last
computer I had the high DMA channel of my SB16 selected wrong and it
screwed up my modem in the most subtle way (zmodem stopped working,
everything else seemed fine). If it is an ISA modem or is operating with
PnP disabled another thing to check is your bios settings: make sure your
PnP setup reserves the proper IRQ for ISA cards. Good luck.
