SYMPTOMS

When you set up Remote Access Service (RAS) in Windows NT Server on computers with large numbers of modems attached, the Setup process may take an extended amount of time to add all attached modems and complete the setup process.

CAUSE

This slow down occurs when using the modem installer during the RAS setup procedure, and was caused by the method used by setup to enumerate each modem.
