Anybody ever hear of a PCI modem with jumpers? I think a PCI modem gets its IRQ and base address from the BIOS, PCI bus is different from ISA. I jumpered the Diamond SupraExpress 56i ISA modem for COM4 (base 0x2e8), IRQ 5 because that was what the previous no-longer-working-well modem used. I think most DOS communications programs could be made to work with the nonstandard COM4 IRQ 5, but some didn't. Apparently many programmers of DOS communications programs make assumptions about the hardware that are now antiquated. (on Net-Tamer) > You could edit the setup file with a hex editor.

But it looks like Net-Tamer is falling into desuetude. Has there been any recent update?
