COM2, eh?  Running WinDoS?  Not ttyS1?  ;-)

This usually happens when there are IRQ conflicts or there is 
mis-configured hardware.  Check to make sure that you do not have a ttyS3 
(COM4) enabled either on the motherboard or by another serial device.  You 
don't want anything else using IRQ3.

If that's not it, then the new modem may be misconfigured somehow.

HOWEVER, I have seen this error happen (occasionally, not on every fax) 
with perfectly configured and functional hardware, and normally ignoring 
it is just fine, and the modem continues to function just fine.
