Error communicating with modem on COM

Using a dial up connection, should work off the same connection?

i've already dled netcomm installed and and replaced it with the updated netcomm from hardandsoftware.net

I'm not sure what the problem is here....

Same connection as what?

If you already have some other program using COM3 then you cannot use COM3.
