        G'Day Chick!!!!!



 CM> Hi All, I wonder if anyone out there can help me with some info. I

 CM> have a NetComm Pocket Rocket 1234 external modem. Unfortunately it came

 CM> without documentation (the price was right) and I have no idea what it

 CM> can and can't  do.  It's chugging along at 2400 baud at present but I

 CM> suspect that may have  more to do with the limits of my I/O board than

 CM> the modem itself. Which brings  me to my primary problem. I origionally

 CM> purchased a Complete Modem Plus  internal fax/modem. Following the

 CM> instructions in the manual I assigned it to comm port 4 (a switch on

 CM> the back of the card) disabled comm 2 on my I/O card to free up IRQ 3

 CM> and all should have been well.  It wasn't.  The device would go online

 CM> for about 15 or 20 minutes when it would begin generating garbage

 CM> characters on screen quickly becoming worse until it either locked up

 CM> or went offline.  PortInfo V1.0 tells me I have an IRQ conflict and

 CM> that comm 4 is at address 2E8, this is the address normally assigned to

 CM> comm 3 which  shares IRQ 4 with Comm 1 and consequently my mouse

 CM> driver, hence the IRQ conflict.  Assigning the modem to other ports

 CM> didn't help and neither did swapping comm port addresses in DOS.  What

 CM> am I doing wrong??  

        Hmm, if worst comes to worst, Remove the BALL from your mouse, and DO

NOT touch the mouse during connect, get a COMMS program that allows you to

use KEYS only...



        Grazz...
