There may be an un-install program for the modem in it's folder on the start
menu, that would be a place to start.
Also Control Panel>System>Device Manager will let you remove the modem and
the HSFMODEM devices and should be checked to make sure they're both
removed.
Turn off the machine and remove the internal card.
You should be good to go with installing your USRobotics External.
You'll need to change you're dial in connection to use the new modem (or
delete and create a new one if things seem un-cooperative).
