Hi,

Has anyone got the experience that Windows 3.0 cannot locate the modem
on COM 2? I have a 2400 baud internal modem on com 2 but not even
terminal.exe can find it. The program doesn't complain. The problem is
even with the right setting (i.e., 2400 8N1 DTR/DSR flow and no parity
check) the teminal screen just come up blank. I can't even type any 
AT command to the modem nor the modem replied with an OK. It seems that
Windows is locked to com 1. However, my DOS based communication program
worked just fine even running in Windows as a DOS session.

Can anyone out there help?
