Never been fond of internal modems. You can take an external device anywhere.
If you have, as you say, 2 com ports on the board, who ever installed your internal modem probably tried to be nice to you by making that modem share a com port so that you have 2 free serial ports.
That arrangement, in my opinion, buggers things up.
You can get really swanky external modems for very little these days. Better still, a USB device :-)
