Hi Kit!
I don't understand why you need both the PCI modem
and the USR external one.
If you mobo is standard you should have 2 serial ports + 1 parallel
available onboard and be able just to trash the PCI modem
and use the 2nd serial port for the USR.
Should be no probs using the external modem in winblows either.
If you are missing the connector for the 2nd serial port your local
computer store will probably have junk boxes full of them.
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't really see what
the problem is...
