Try moving an internal modem to a different expansion slot. For an extarnal modem using serial port card, move the serial port card to a different slot. Also for an extarnal modem use a different serial cable. Go to control panel and double-click the modem icon. Select the modem and click modem properties, connections, advanced connection settings. Try AT, OR ATX0.
