Hi All, I wonder if anyone out there can help me with some info. I have a
NetComm Pocket Rocket 1234 external modem. Unfortunately it came without
documentation (the price was right) and I have no idea what it can and can't 
do.  It's chugging along at 2400 baud at present but I suspect that may have 
more to do with the limits of my I/O board than the modem itself. Which brings 
me to my primary problem. I origionally purchased a Complete Modem Plus 
internal fax/modem. Following the instructions in the manual I assigned it to
comm port 4 (a switch on the back of the card) disabled comm 2 on my I/O card
to free up IRQ 3 and all should have been well.  It wasn't.  The device would
go online for about 15 or 20 minutes when it would begin generating garbage
characters on screen quickly becoming worse until it either locked up or
went offline.  PortInfo V1.0 tells me I have an IRQ conflict and that comm 4
is at address 2E8, this is the address normally assigned to comm 3 which 
shares IRQ 4 with Comm 1 and consequently my mouse driver, hence the IRQ
conflict.  Assigning the modem to other ports didn't help and neither did
swapping comm port addresses in DOS.  What am I doing wrong?? 

Regards Chi
