Back to the drawing board. Now the external serial modem causes XP to reboot. When I first installed XP Pro the modem worked. I didn't use it for a while. I installed SP2 and other software from CD's, when I got around to using the modem again, XP rebooted, and does so every time now.
In Win2K it froze the computer completely.
I can't find out what the problem is, the serial port itself, one of those weird Prescott incompatibilties I've seen mentioned, a Conexant driver problem,
NT/XP problem, or all of the above.
I'm using a USR hardware PCI modem now, but it bothers me that I can't use
a standard dialup serial modem on my new computer.
