you MUST have the modem switched ON when you turn on the machine, or 2k will not know it's there. it sucks ass I know, but it's like that.... and that's the way it is!

... or you can switch on modem->go to device manager->right click in modems->scan for hardware changes-> that's it! still doesn't know an easier way like make win2k assume your modem is always switched on...
