I am installing a dial up modem in a friends Tiny Win XP Prof machine. Three
different modems install and all can be queried with success. They install to
COM port 3.
I then use connection wizard to create a dial up connection. Every time I do
this the dial up connection shows the modem as "Unavailable Device (COM1)"
Can any one help me please.
Kind Regards
Garry
