i don't think Windows 2012 still have built-in support on legacy modems. what's the point here to upgrade your W2K3 to 2012 if all existing applications are working well with W2K3?

I used to generate RAS and/or incoming connections in Windows 2003 using modems and serial port communications....<br />
<br />
In 2012 I cannot see anything to Serial Port or Modem communication (even when everything is configured properly)...<br />
<br />
Any ideas about how I can enable those features in 2012 and/or a software that I can use to do so?<br />
<br />
Thanks,
