Russ,
I verified, using the diagnostics on the setup disk, that the modem is on com
2 and irq 3. The modem works flawlessly if I use setup to cause the modem to
be on at startup. If the modem is set to "off" at startup nothing but the
diagnostics program will turn it on. Procomm Plus locks up in this condition.
I suspect that there was originally a program called "modem" or something
similar. A command line like "modem on" was probably required. The diagnostics
program, however, is able to wake the modem up for testing.
Thanks,
Richard Hall
