HI,Win ME/98 its been awhile for me but,i think if you go to the modem icon in control panel you can remove and reinstall modem and choose a different com port

did you just install this modem in the computer or was it allready installed,if you can take it out you can look on the modem for a jumper to set it to com 1 or 2 ,some older modems had this option ,or you maybe to enter the BIOS on bootup and look in ther to set the com port .
