Verifying a Serial Modem Connection
When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that
the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB (COMx), where x
is the number of the COM port.
If the operating system does not detect automatically that your
modem is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the Hardware
Wizard again and choose Select from the list instead of
Autodetect. Then, select use Prolific Device from Page as the
COM port.
