SiS735 board and PCI Softmodem
hi folks,
i am asking on behalf of a friend, who has a particular problem: he upgraded his system from a FIC 502+ board with VIA MPV3 chipset to the Elitegroup K7S5A with SiS735 chipset (and from a K6/2 to an Athlon XP...). He also upgraded from a Matrox Millenium to an Ati Radeon 7200 on my recommendation. Flame me, but he wanted to PLAY 3D games, imagine that ;-)
Anyway, he also has an PCI Softmodem with some kind of ES chipset. This modem runs perfectly in the K6 box but the Athlon box simply refuses to even POST when the modem is put into it. The problem remains, if all cards are removed and it doesn't matter what graphics card is in the system.
So, now our problem: what is going wrong? Has anybody of you ever encountered something similiar or even the same prob?
Thank you in advance

Problem is, he's waiting for his ADSL connection, which should be there any moment (which translates into Feb or March - don't ask where he is living, just one word: backwater) and he is not willing to spend more money on "obsolete" tech, because he already has to buy an ADSL modem.
