Hi! It's been 4 months now that I've been trying to find a solution to this problem but I had no success. Maybe someone can give me a clue. Well, I have an IBM PS/2, 50z (a 286-machine) and I'm running windows 3.1. I have an old version of procomm (v.2.4.2) which is working perfectly. When I tried to run the windows terminal it seems that the software doesn't communicate with the modem and also anything I type doesn't appear on the screen. I tried all sorts of tricks. I disconnected the mouse in case it conflicts with the comm-1 port. I removed the expanded memory card to check for any interference. I called IBM and they washed their hands. I called Microsoft and they tried (for more than 1/2 an hour) to find any problem. Still no solution. I also got a new RS-232 in case there is a bad connection. When I had windows 3.0 version the windows terminal was working fine. I also changed the modem (got it from a friend of mine) and still the old procomm software is working fine but I can do nothing with windows terminal. I also got procomm plus for windows and it also does not operate with the modem. Furthermore as soon as I go into procomm plus the icon for the telephone indicates than the receiver is off hook but nothing happens. No dialing occurs. The screen also doesn't reflect what I type on the keyboard, the only thing I see is an "A"! It is really frustrating, and I would really appreciate if someone could give me an advice (since neither IBM who makes the computer nor MICROSOFT who wrote the software are capable to help) Thanks, E.
