Modem IRQ Settings

I have an AT&T Pentium computer with a 19.2 modem which was set up for Com port 3 (the modem and sound card are integrated and on the PCI bus). I installed a ZOOM 56K flex modem in an ISA bus and windows put the modem on Com port 4 and IRQ 11. The new modem works great, but when I tried to install a HP 5P Scsi Scanner it would not work and it fouled up the new modem. I took the scanner off and reloaded the modem software and the modem works again. I would like to put the scanner back on but am not sure how to do this.

Thanks for the response. I will try your suggestion later. Would a full SCSI card like an adaptec board work better in this situation. I have access to this board from a friend and I am considering one of those CD ROMS that you can write to one time.

I checked the control panel, systems, device mgr, properties, and found the modems, but com4 was not included in the list. any suggestions? I know I am using com4 and irg 11.

the scsi card included with the SJ scanners are a bit wierd.. they can ONLY use IRQ11. SO you have to move your COm card.

Thanks for the reply, especially on Christmas Day. I will try to manually re-install the modem to irq 3 and com4. I took the scanner back to sams, but I may try another one if I can get the com port irq moved. I can also get the adaptec full scsi card from my friend to see if that helps.

Thanks again.
