Verifying the Windows 95/98/Me Configuration
Windows assigns an interrupt request (IRQ) number for your modem. Because the number of IRQs is
limited, a computer with several accessories may not have an available IRQ for your new modem. In
that case, you may have to decide which of your other accessories you can modify or do without.
Be aware that resource settings should be changed only by users with expert knowledge of computer
hardware and hardware configurations.
Note:
Changing resource settings improperly can disable your hardware and can cause your computer
to malfunction or be inoperable.
Use the following procedure to check the assignments Windows has made for your modem:
