For several years, my Mustek flatbed scanner(MFS-6000CX) has happily coexisted 
with my 486DX40.  Last week I bought a USR Vi voice, data, fax modem(28.8).  
Now the scanner hangs up in mid cycle.  Calls to Mustek(they claim they have 
not encountered this problem before) have been to  no avail and the tech at 
USR 's suggestions(changing IRQ and com) did not work.   My mouse is on com 
1(IRQ4), the modem has always been on com 2(IRQ3), and my sb 16 is on com 
5(AMA1,7).    I am running under win 95.  Interestingly, if I remove the new 
modem, the scanner begins to work properly.  I have tried each of the 3 or 4 
IRQs allowed by win 95 under com ports 2,3, and 4 and the results have been 
nugatory.  Addtionally, I have tried each of the 8 possible I/O addresses 
under each IRQ.  If any one has licked this problem, I would appreciate email 
off list. Thanks  Mike DiMaio
