Purdue supports a DATA OVER VOICE (DOV) system that makes it so that you can use the phone for voice and hook up to their computer at the same time over the same line. As far as my problem goes, this device is just an external modem. Here is the deal: I want to hook up both an internal modem and the DOV at the same time. Not to be used at the same time, but so that I cam switch back and forth between them using software instead of having to make hardware setup changes. I use Windows 3.1 so I want to be able to use this under the windows terminal program I tryed this setup: com1 irq4 mouse com2 irq3 DOV com3 empty com4 irq3 modem This would work fine except that windows won't recgonize com4 at all so I can't use the modem in terminal at all. But, even when it is running under windows, bitcom recgonizes com4 no problem. I guess what the problem comes down to is - can you make windows use com4? if so, how? Or could I make it use com3 with irq3. I have a BOCA IO board(ns16450 UART chips) that has jumpers that can set which irq's(3,4,5 or 7) connect to which com installed in a 286 home built (M.C.T.mother board). I can set which com the modem hooks up to but it jut uses standard irq's for the com to which it is commected thanks in advance email to baysmn@feserve.cc.purdue.edu
