IBM 2194 Resolving conflicts with installed adapter cards, Setting modem card configurations

Resolving conflicts with installed adapter cards

If you purchased a computer with an installed modem card, this section can help you resolve some potential conflicts between your new hardware and the modem card.

If after installing a new hardware option, the modem or new hardware option does not work, use the Windows 98 Device Manager to compare the resources used by the installed modem card and the new hardware option. If both devices attempt to use the same resource, refer to the new hardware's documentation to change the resource used by the new hardware.

If the resource for the new hardware cannot be changed, change the resource for the modem card in the Device Manager.
