Modem and Bluetooth adapter conflict

    Hi guys. Recently I purchased a Bluetooth adapter to transfer files between my cell phone and my laptop. I got that working with no problems, but the Bluetooth USB adapter seems to block my modem from dialing out. So, I have been taking the checkmarks out of everything related to the adapter in the startup menu in msconfig. This stops the Bluetooth software from starting when I reboot and lets the modem connect. Now here's my dilema. I want to use a Bluetooth wireless headset to talk to friends online. But, the modem won't dial up unless I have the Bluetooth program shut down. Is there a way to direct the Bluetooth to one port and assign another port to the modem so I can use them both at the same time? Please be generic and very specific with any responses as I'm just a lowlife Private in the Majorgeeks chain of command.
