Hi All, I am facing the following problem and I hope that someone in the group can help me out. I have in my pocession a Complus 1200i internal modem (yes it is very old approx. 1987 and is AT compatible) that I want to connect with my 486 ISA machine. The questions are the following: 1. Will the modem be able to operate properly in my 486DX50 PC? 2. How do I go setting up the modem ports? The modem has settings for COM1 or COM2 (and seperate IRQ3-4 option). My com-card in the PC is currently set to COM1 & COM2. From the little card I was supplied I cannot tell if the com-card can be set to COM2 & COM3 so that I can use the modem in COM1. Should that be possible? Thanks in advance for your help, Kostis PS Please reply by e-mail since I am not a frequent reader of this newsgroup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K J Dryllerakis Deparment of Computing Logic Programming Group Imperial College, LONDON Janet: kd @uk.ac.ic.doc Tel: +44(71) 589 5111 x5089 Uucp : kd@icdoc.UUCP Internet: kd@doc.ic.ac.uk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
