Joel, try Uninstalling all modems in your Device Manager (in System
Properties). Then reboot and let Win95 detect and reinstall the modem
you're using. Sometimes it takes a purge of that sort to force Win95 to
reassess its assignment of resources and recognize hardware correctly.

Is it an internal modem (card)? Try taking it out and reseating it. It
may be a flaky interface with the motherboard that just needs a little
help. What other serial devices are you running? Is there any conflict?
If there is (whether you realize it or not), reinstalling under Win95
may get wrong assignments cleared out. Good luck!
