You are getting confused over what device manager means by a PORT and what a COM port means. Device manager list only physical PORTS, such as 9-pin/25-pin serial ports and parallel (LPT1/2) ports that you would physically connect devices such as external modems and printers to the back of your computer. a COM port is acually an address occupied by the device, such as your USR mode. COM3 means that your USR modem uses the next available memory address 03E8h known as COM3 in more simpler terms. So YOU SHOULD NOT have a COM3 under ports in device manager, since your USR Modem is using it and NOT a physical port as describe above. Psykosonik
