NoNoNo. The 16550A chip (the UART [Universal Asynchronis Receiver/Transmitter) is on the SERIAL card, NOT the modem, UNLESS your modem is INTERNAL. If the Modem is internal, then Yes, the modem could be as you mentioned, 16550 compatible (something I didn't consider when first replying, as I would NEVER buy or recommend an internal modem, I guess). If your modem is internal, I would scour the docs, as maybe there's something you have to do to enable the UART buffer. If it's external, then you'd just need to buy a new serial card, per my previous message. Dave
