Uninstalling the Modem
The following instructions should work for your new PCI modem
as well as older PCI modems. If not, please refer to your original
modem manufacturer’s documentation for removal instructions.
If your computer has a modem, you may choose to keep it or to
remove it. We recommend that you remove it. Removing the old
modem ensures that your computer will have enough resources
to run your new modem without conflicts with other devices.
