Installation of multiple PCI Modems

[Ayman Altounji]

I am trying to install 3 internal PCI Compaq V90 Lucent Win Modems into a DL380 for use as Citrix Metaframe XP dial up server. I can successfully install one modem but the second and third modems fail to start. In device manager I get the following messages for the 2nd and 3rd modems "this device cannot start (Code 10)" when trying to view the resources i get the following message "This device is not using any resources because it has a problem". Re installation of the drivers has not helped. At the momment I have not yet installed metaframeXP or Term Services, just vanilla WIN2KServerSP2.

Is it possible to use multiple modems in this server?

I have a sneaky suspicion that they will not work because they are Win modems and therefore use CPU power to compress/uncompress the data.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Regards,

Graham

Hi, there are two ports active on most of the servers. Make sure the bios an dthe SCU utility has been updated. That might help.
