LAN modem

How can I disable a LAN modem from my system? It was
installed in Windows 95, but the system has been upgraded
to Windows 98.

Disbale it in device manager. Right-click My computer,
select properties from the drop-downlist and than select
device manager.

The modem? Unplug it.

The software? Uninstall it.

It is unplugged.

What do I disable in device manager?

Don't know what the software is called in the system, so I
don't know what to delete.

Deleted the *.pwl file, but the password screen still shows
up when I turn the computer on. Windows 98 will not accept
the external modem I tried to install.

If all else fails, I plan on physically removing it from
the system and then try to install an internal modem.

Your NIC, unless you need it for other networking.

That's going to depend on the particular hardware you have,
and where you installed its software.

That can be got rid of by deleting networking or via TweakUI
(with different ramifications).

In what sense does it "not accept" it? It's just a device attached
to a serial port. If you want to network with it, you may need to
install DUN (Dial Up Networking).

It's unclear what you're really trying to accomplish. What's
wrong with using the LAN modem?
