Server 2003 not seeing modem on reboot

Server 2003 and digi neo 8 port device.My question is similar to this posting on feb. 17.
“Modems showing as “not present” after server reboot with AcceleportXP”

When we reboot our dell server windows 2003 we are forced to run atx commands on our digi ports though hyperterm. We have an lpr service that restarts automatically that sends print jobs through modems attached to the ports on to remote locations with modems and printers. IS there a way to get the start up process to more effectively see and initialize the digiboard and its ports/coms so that we will no longer have to use hyperterm to get the ports/coms recognized.
