A tech-support person at Cybermax Computer, which built my system, just told me that all of their 56K modems are "Windows-based". We walked through a simple AT command under DOS, and COM1 (ie, 0x3f8) emitted an I/O error. It appears my modem is one of the dreaded 'Win modems'. > AFAIK WinModem is a USR idea, while your modem is Lucent > based, ie K56Flex (USR is x2). So I think it's unlikely > to be the problem. Interesting. Computer Peripherals made my modem. Maybe they make 'Win modems' based on the Lucent chipset. At least that appears to be the case. I guess I have to buy another modem...Sigh. -c ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
