SYMPTOMS

When two or more modems are configured to use the same serial COM port, RAS always uses the modem settings of the last modem you installed.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, delete all of the modems you do not use, and leave only the one modem that is physically connected to your computer.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
