Me too, have a very similar problem.
Jon here are giving an excellent and correct resolution, thank you
Jon.
But for me, I have one more problem which is related to my Dell
computer combine with a S3 graphic card driver.
So, if someone is using a computer with a S3 graphic card driver.
Change your modem jumper to COM3 before you follow Jon's resolution.
You can NOT use COM4 (COM1 or COM2 is still questionable).  The reason
that I got from Dell's technical support is Window95 will behave very
strange, if I don't use COM3, and IRQ4.
With some investigation of myself.  The real answer I believe is
hardware-conflict between the graphic card and COM4.
For a detail explanation, take a look at the following www site:
