Hi.

I have a problem.  I have an old 8-bit soundblaster card and am trying to set up my PC to take voicemail.  When I installed a Zoltrix 14,4 modem that does voice and ran an OS/2 voicemail app (The Answering Machine), I got dumped out of Warp with a TRAP 000d when I had the software 'test' the modem.  Rebooting from the exception was OK, but COM2 had dissappeared.  (Cold boot brought it back).  After some thought, I yanked the SB card and tried again, and the test worked ok.  Anybody have any ideas?  My SB is at IRQ5 and i/o base 220.  I had exactly the same experience with a VIVA 14,4 modem.  (Both modems set for COM2, IRQ3.)

I haven't tried (but will next) changing the I/O base on the SB card from 220 to something else, but I have some software that won't recognise the SB if its not at 220, so even if that works, I won't be much farther ahead.  There doesn't appear to be any settings or docs for the modem that even mention an I/O address.  Anybody know anything about how these silly modems work or have ideas of what's wrong or what to do next?

Thanks for any input.

Michael.
