    It's probably a software modem. If it works on either, I wouldn't worry about it.

    The problem on this particular PC is that it has a dial-up internet connection that is configured to use a modem on COMx and when the modem is configured to COMx it connects fine, but when restarting, the modem changes to COMy and no connection is available. The only way to connect is to go and reconfigure the internet s/w to connect to COMy or to restart again so the modem will configure back to COMx.
