Gday All, Here's hoping some of you netheads out there can help with a solution to a modem problem I have :) I have an IBM 486 slc 2, comprising of a single speed cd rom (one i need a driver for ..), 1.44 floppy, 130 mb hard disk, sb pro card plus mouse and scanner. I have an internal 14.4k modem...this is where the problem lies. I just cant use the modem in windows 3.1.. If i try, it will freeze and the only way it will work is if i move the mouse around..now before you say "change the irq's", I've already done that with nothing so far. The modem has 4 dip switches and I've set them to the com port it's in...which so far every single slot in my computer seems to be damned com 3..I don't get it. The slots themselves aren't numbered at the back so I have no idea where I'm plugging the modem into, although its always com 3 apparently even though i change the slots. Any ideas people? Oh and I've got 4 megz of ram. The modem will work quite happily in dos..but not through windows..and the techs I've taken it to haven't been able to fix it either...the modem's an "Active" brand. Cheers, Frank ... Backup not found: (A)bort (R)etry (S)lap nearest innocent bystander. --- Blue Wave/DOS v2.20 [NR]* Origin: Avantgarde BBS, the best in the univers!
