heh...
the modem is already in the server, I had no use for it elsewhere, so no plans to remove it.
I know how to remove the TCP/IP binding to the modem, but this may break the console app. Oh well

Will have to see how the console app chooses it communication point.
I guess I could make the software verdor sort it out. thats why we pay for those huge support contracts I guess.
thanks people
