I have recently installed Warp OS/2 (the version without Win-OS/2) over Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and MS-DOS 6.22. Now both my windows comunications packages are unable to work. They are WinFax Pro V4 and Smartcom for Windows. I have tried all the solutions which were suggested by IBM support and product support and as documented in the various OS/2 supplied text/information files. The symptom is either a system crash trapped by OS/2 which causes the system to be stopped, or a completely uninterruptable hang. Both require a cold reboot. The problem occurs when the windows software attempts to access the modem attached to COM2 (COM1 is the mouse). IBM have proved totally inadequate to the task - no fewer than six promises to return calls and escalate the problem resolution have evaporated. Their internet support has also not replied. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can supply details of .SYS & .INI files and other information to anyone who is interested! Has anyone else had the same problem? Help please, regards.
