I have a serial USR Faxmodem. After I installed a new USB scanner, the modem's response seems to slow down quite considerably. Is this normal?

Have you tried to simply disconnect the scanner (dont uninstall drivers etc. Just disconnect the scanner and see if modem improves). If this doesn't help you might try to unistall the scanner drivers. Maybe a driver bug for the scanner can affect other USB devices.

If you disconnect the power plug from the scanner, does it still slow down your connection? Certain scanners put out HUGE RF interence.
