Hello,

Is it possible, under a virtual machine, to use a PCI card modem (v90 or
RNIS) ?

I am trying to discover this PCI card under VS2005 without success.

The aim is to use a fax software with a card into the virtual server so as
to fax out.

Thanks for your help in this domain.

Virtual Server cannot directly use a PCI device. However many PCI
modems actually expose a serial port internally - and you can configure
Virtual Server to use that serial port.

A VM will never discover any PCI card. VMs have their own virtualized
hardware, which is completely independent of the hosts.

You can map the COM port inside a guest and use a modem though.
