    You're having tremendous difficulties getting a modem working. Could I
    suggest that you beg/borrow an external serial modem (not USB, not
    internal) from a friend, even if it's a lowly 1200baud modem? Get that
    working; then when you're satisfied that you're making progress, then
    start struggling again with your internal PCI modem (which I despise,
    because they're always trouble in my experience).
