usr5686e optimal settings for server 2003

Hello, I know this is in the wrong group, but i cannot sign into either
the Microsoft forums or the partner forums. Both give me an error saying
you are not authorized.

anyways i have a server 2003 sp2 with r2 and the fax modem died, i
picked up a us robotics 5686e external modem and wish to know if it will
work out of the box or if it needs configuring. And if it needs
configuring are there optimal settings that someone could tell me about
thank you.

You may want to read the following before you install it to become
familiar with what's involved. I know one thing that it does point out
