Clean install of W2K pro on a Dell PE2400; everything loaded great with no conflicts. When I try to dialup my ISP, I get error 602 "com port busy".
The only thing that works is to use the device manager to uninstall the modem (ActionTec pci v90) and restart. After this restart, system pnp invisibly reinstalls the modem and dialup works great. However, a subsequent restart will show the same problem with the modem tying up the com port, so I have to uninstall and restart again.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
