modem won't work in 98 for dual boot XP/98se
OK. I admit it, I'm stumped. Built a new system with a Soyo K7VTA Pro, Athlon XP 1700 processor. Installed my Maxtor 80GB 7200 rpm HD, floppy, CD. CD=RW, ATI Rage Pro card (PCI) with TV tuner, using on-board audio.

I had Win98se on the hard drive. turned the system on, worked great. Installed the SOYO drivers, everyting fine.
Installed a new copy of Win XP in a dual-boot configuration. It partitioned te drive. 8GB on the 98, the rest for XP.
All worked well.
With the new system, which is great by the way, I had MUCH more room than my old Compaq 5204 (which was horrible!). So I pulled an internal modem out that I had sitting for a while and installed it into the system. It is a Lucent Technologies LT Win Modem.
Fired up Windows XP, and it installed fine. Works in XP. Re-booted to Win 98. Here's were things get weird.
I removed the modem from the device manager. Re-booted. It finds a PCI communications device. Tries to search for the drivers, can't find them. I tried installing the drivers directly with the drivers package I downloaded. Still can't locate a modem when I try to dial-up. As a matter of fact, COM3 doesn;t even show up which is were it is installed in XP.
Re-boot, again, PCI communications device. Tried te standard windows drivers, all that is there is a Lucent USB modem driver.
I ave tried everything I know of to get it to work and it just doesn't seem to be clicking with me. What am I missing? deleted the inf file, tried manually configuring the drivers that XP shows are being used. Copied the drivers in XP to a folder on the 98 partition and tried to manually install them in 98. No luck. I am almost scared I have missed something horribly simple. What is it?
Has anyone run into this type of configuration problem wit a dual boot system? I re-install the EXTERNAL and it works in both, but the Lucent INTERNAL only works in XP! Weird as it gets!!!!!

Try downloading the modem chipset drivers from here. Just DL the self-extracting EXE, run it in 98, and it will ask you if you want to install the modem. If that doesn't work, then I dunno. Good luck.
