ahhh.....shoot....I forgot about that....I remember installing a Zoom modem
on a friends computer....Win 3.1 "saw" the modem  on COM 4, yet Telix for DOS
"saw" it on COM 2 (which is where I had it hardware configured)....Whoa...I
can't beleive I forgot all about that....heheh.....I kept telling Procomm to
look on COM 1 for the modem, when I shoulda told it to look on COM 3 :)
Oh well...there was an easy solution.....get a Supra 33.6 PnP modem
