Hi Adam,
AS>I just installed warp 3 connect and use it with windows 95 on a dual boot,
AS>but os2 has problems initializing the modem. The modem is
AS>on com3 and at an os2 prompt I can type echo ata>com3 and
AS>hear the modem click, but only one program can use it which
AS>is called terminal 2. I would like to get a program that
AS>will let me connect to my local ISP but all of them can't
AS>use the modem. I have also added this to my config.sys on
AS>the com.sys line (3,3E8,4) which means use com3 IRQ 4.
A nice easy one I can answer. Because OS/2 is multi-tasking it expects
to be able to use all the serial ports at once. IRQ 4 is used by COM1 so
you have an IRQ conflict. Change the COM3 IRQ to another free one
supported by the board. The usual possibilities are 2/9, 5 and 7 if
you have an 8 bit card.
AS>Lastly while in a dos prompt telix has no trouble with the
AS>modem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
That is because DOS only enables one serial port at a time, so while you
are using the modem COM1 interrupts are disabled.
