exactly what modem did you get?
broadband? to dial-up
I recently purchased a used emachine. It had a broadband modem? (card) in it. I put a dial-up modem in because I don't have broadband or dsl. It is giving me a message that there is a irq conflict. I had this problem before and Didn't know how to fix it. I guess there are settings that are set when a broadband connection is setup in a system, that must be reversed when you install dial-up? Irq settings are very confusing to me so if you have the answer please explain in simple terms.:4-dontkno
Thank you for any help.

a 56k dial-up. I should say I understand irq's somewhat but I don't know how to correct them when more then one thing is accessing a single irq. Originally I left the existing modem (broadband) in the small slot and put the 56k modem in the larger slot (pci)? but it didn't recognize it at all and gave me a message concerning the broadband modem, sorry I can't remember what the message was. I attributed it to the fact that it wasn't operable. So are you saying that if I am sure that my 56k modem is working properly that it should work? I am sure that it is a working modem. That wouldnt explain the irq conflict warning when I am powering up. I did check the bios and it has irq settings but I have no idea what I should change them to so I didn't mess with them. What is the very smaller slot beside the pci slot for? That is where the broadband modem was plugged in.
we need the make and model of the modem.
It is a smart link 56k modem I don't see a model # on the paper work
