Was W2K installed with an ACPI HAL or standard HAL? Check the device manager
for this. Was the modem detected upon installation and installed as an
unknown PCI communication device? Again, verify device manager. If it was
detected as an unknown device, modify that driver in device manager by
updating its driver with the ACPI compatible Aztech driver.
Here's how to show hidden devices:
run devmgmt.msc
view menu > Show hidden devices
