VB vs. SM56 FaxModem

I've been trying to test out an ugly modem problem using "newVBTerm" - a dandy sample program from MS, but when I try to open the modem port (PORT 3) I get message - "8002 Invalid Port Number"



This is what I know:
Win 2000 Pro
The Control Panel/Device Manager says its COMM3
The modem's a Motorola SM56 Fax Modem
"newVBTerm" sees other comm ports unless the modem is assigned there.
Hyperterminal sees and controls the modem just fine.


What am I missing here?
