I think its HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem
here an excerpt from http://www.modemdoctor.com/html/news0998.htm: Modem Keys- The important information on how your modem works is saved in the key; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem. Under the Modem subkey, you will again find numerical entries that correspond to your modems. This area holds a wealth of information about your system including every important command and response string that your modem generates. This numeric subkey contains more subkeys that hold important command strings to answer incoming calls, hang-up the modem, initialize the modem, monitor for rings, response and init settings, and exact commands on how to turn on or off certain features of your modem. All of this information is created from the INF file used to install your modem. This section also holds the name of the vxd driver to use for communications, and the description of the type and manufacturer of your modem.
