I answered your other question about busy comm port. Just what are you trying to achieve with your analog modem? Dial out to a ISP? or allow network clients to dial in? RRAS has to be configured before dial in will work on W2K Server. for dial out, that's the internet connection properties.

note: if your trying to establish an internet connection using your 56k modem, [for the server alone]configure your browser [IE or Netscape] for dial up connection via "Tools, Internet options, Connections, Setup". Clicking on "Setup" will run the Internet Connection Wizard where you can configure the type of internet connection you have [Dial up or LAN TCP/IP]. If you are trying to establish "Dial In" for properties, open up Admin tools from the control panel, click on Routing and Remote Access, click on your server and the "Configure Routing & Remote Access" wizard will start. Hope this helps.
