link settings, auto polarity, and IRQ and I/O values.

For this installation, be prepared to assign a COM port to the modem. The
following procedure assumes that you will create a new COM port for this
purpose. If you plan to use an existing COM port, make sure it is not being used
by another device, such as a built-in infrared port.
1 Open the Control Panel and select Ports.
2 Click Add to create a new COM port.
3 Set the COM port number to 5 or higher. Do not give the new port the same
number as an existing COM port. You can use the Windows NT Diagnostics
Resource tab to determine which resources are free.
4 Accept the default settings for the new port (typically, IRQ 15 and I/0 3f8) and click
OK.
