I have a USR 56k internal PCI faxmodem installed in host machine on COM3 and it appears as "U.S. Robotics 56k PCI Faxmodem" under Device Manager. From Virtualbox I enabled serial port 1 by selecting COM3, Host Device and Port/File path "COM3:". After starting virtual XP system, I installed driver from USR's CD and the faxmodem appeared under Device Manager as "U.S. Robotics V.92 PCI Faxmodem". When I right clicked the modem to see Property, virtual PC crashed and restarted. I tried it a few times and the same thing recurred. I am not sure if I configured faxmodem properly in the virtual machine, or whether the slight difference in faxmodem's name between host and guest matters. Any suggestion?
