If everything you said is true, then some voodoo is going on, but I've seen this kind of Voodoo before.
I had an external 28.8 modem at one time I was using on an A3000. Well i upgraded to a Prometheus with a 8029 ethernet card and put the miggy on DSL. A short time later I tried to use the modem on another PC with no luck. After some troubleshooting I came to the determination the modem would only work on an Amiga using Miami. The modem must have been semi broken, and miami's way of acessing it must be somewhat different than a PC with Wintendo.
