Before internal modems they were used for external modems. What OS are you using? In Unix it can be configured using admintool, in Windows it can be checked by right clicking MY COMPUTER and going into devices on NT and 2000 and I think also 98,95. The serial cable for RS232 will need to have pins 2-3 crossed(send vs recv) and 5 is ground....thats it. You may also want to be sure that the interupts are free if its a really old computer. Ed
