Thanks Harry,
The third slot I tried worked. I should have tried this before posting, but I
had such a hard time getting the modem to work before that I was hesitant to
fiddle. The system is pretty simple--6 PCI slots but only two cards, the
SBlive and a modem, no serial ports, no USB, no local printers, no IDE. The 2
SCSIs, 2 NICs and video are all on the MB.
Rgds, Ben A
