I've got this modem too, and the only way for me to get it to work under Win98 was to disable Plug-n-Play OS in the BIOS settings. I don't know if it'll help any in XP, but you might try it.

The reason why I had to do this was because if the BIOS thought that Win98 was a Plug-n-Play OS, it wouldn't assign an IRQ to the modem. Win98 wouldn't use the card properly because it didn't have an IRQ assigned, although I guess it was supposed to do the assigning itself.

It could also be an IRQ conflict, or a serial/COM port conflict. With an old ISA modem under XP, it's hard to tell.
