ADSL driver conflict with 56K?

Is it possible for a USB ADSL modem driver to cause problems for a 56K PCI
modem? (The ADSL modem is unplugged).

Device Manager is reporting no conflicts. Yet the tremendous noise - like
the slime level on Boulderdash - and odd behaviour of the 56K modem suggests
that either it is broken or there is some sort of conflict on COM3. I
suspect the modem is broken but is it possible for ADSL modem driver to
cause problems?

Is there a filter on the modem?

I've tried it with and without.

But the odd thing is that the noise is showing itself as soon as I plug the
modem cable in to the modem but before I plug it in to the the telephone
socket. This is why I was wondering if the noise is internal to the PC
rather than external.

Unplugged from the phone socket, or from the computer ?
