Note, that there is a colon between the comX and the locked speed. Check the
SIOREF.TXT for more information about it. If you want to share the port with a 
DOS program, the add a "-" in the 4th spot.

Are you sure it isn't one of those Winmodems? I know that the boxes sure
looked a lot alike..

There are add-ons for this. IIRC, there is one from Mark Mays utilities. Check 
on Hobbes for a deltree command if you have net access. If not, I can always
attach it and send it to you..

No idea. What does it say? Does it give any error information? If you like
list, you can always try 4OS2. List is built in, and works quite nicely--but
it's shareware and will expire!

Naa. Stay with Netscape. And once you get the correct modem line installed, it 
will work quite nicely. I don't care for the SO web browser..


 DD>  Whew... that outta be enough for now... 

Gee, it's sort of fun having a few new folks again! ;-) Some of us that have
used it for a while were getting a bit stale and set in our ways.

Once you get it set up, you can pretty much forget it. It just runs and runs..


Have a good day!!
