It's just a stupid external "old" Hayes compatible modem that works fine

in DOS but as soon as I start Win95,COM1 no longer "sees" the modem
there.  I've tried ALL COM ports on diagnostics programs - they are all
fine but no modem can be found.  The only way this system will see that
modem is if I start up from a cold boot, and hit F8 at the startup,
choosing to walk through the start-up routine and end up at a c:\ prompt

or to just go straight to "prompt only".  Then it works fine (piss me
off ...)

Anyone have a handle on this? please reply...
