Hello -

I wonder if anyone can help me... I've got the 5.55 firmware and am using my
Modem in 98 at the moment to dial in...

...But try installing it in NT, and it all goes wrong.

Firstly, what I have tried:

1) 5.54 standard installation (i.e. the one that comes with 5.54 and is for
NT)
2) 5.54 NT *specific* installation (i.e. one that was written coz some
people were having trouble)
3) Various other ZIP Files blah blah, they all have the same outcome, which
is...

o    On Boot up words to the effect of "One of the drivers/services didn't
start. See Event Manager"... There's nothing in there.
o    So, I go to Devices->LT WinModem, and hit start... It fails because
"the serial device didn't respond" or something.

For what it's worth, I'm running a PIII450 on an Intel Seattle M/B with
Phoenix BIOS. My NT is Server SP3 and it would be nice if I could use a
modem through it because I need to for my MCSE training!

I've set the BIOS to "no" for "PnP O/S" because I'm also running UNIX. Mouse
is PS/2 and the COM ports are enabled but on Auto.

Many thanks in advance... This has completely baffled me. I just hope it's
not a simple solution!

JOEL
