hsp56, disable, and run external

Hello all, I am running an HSP56 crapmodem on a PCChips mlr585 board. What I would like to know is this. Can i simply disable the HSP56 in the device manager, and run an external modem of my choice? I have tried this incidentally, for a short time with a 56 rockwell based modem from another of our PC's and it seemed to work. But, the store where I purchased the PCChips based machine from says it will cause problems with the sound if I do this for a permanent fix. Can anyone give me sound advice on this? I do not want to buy another modem, if in a few months time I will have to get another MoBo to use it on!! Thank You, Mal.

You may be able to disable the modem in the BIOS (depending on the age and tyoe of BIOS). Enter the setup program of the computer before it starts to load the OS, and search. As a last resort, look in the computer manual (if you have one) to try to figure out the proper settings.

Good luck.

I very-much doubt that this is correct.
Ask them for a fuller, technical, explanation.

All "modern" computers are custom-built from parts that the consumer selects; the days of "100%-proprietary" computers have gone.
