That should not happen, there is something else going wrong in Winblows. If the modem works in Linux, it is because it is a hardware modem- meaning all any OS has to do is open communictaions to the serial port it defines, and talk using the standard protocol (I think its known as Hayes). If Winblows is having troubles, that means it is a problem most likely with your serial ports.
