Summer of last year we purchased Winport. We wanted to create a RAS server, and eliminate individual modems on users' desks. We installed the software on the server (NT4), and the clients (NT4), and everything was fine. Earlier this year, however, we started rolling out w2k, primarily on our clients. (The RAS server is still currently NT4.) We have had difficulties with the w2k clients. Initially, we gave up on winport on w2k and kept an extra NT4 client or two in the Finance Dept, so people could perform their banking tasks. Now we're trying to spend the time to get past this problem, and we still aren't having any luck. Winport on w2k DOES work...when we only want to use Hyper Terminal. But SOME of the staff need to use ProComm. And every time the client hangs when trying to interrogate the winport modem for 'fax modem' capabilities. (This only happens the very FIRST time none cranks up ProComm. Subsequent uses no longer 'check'.) If there is a way to 'fake out' ProComm, we don't know it. Does anyone know how? We also have a couple users who use WinFax Pro. It APPEARS that the EXACT same problem exists. When one tries to crank up WinFax for the first time, the PC hangs while Winport is checking on the 'fax modem' capabilities. We're using Digi boards in our RAS server. They DO have fax modem capabilities. Under NT4 the apps pass this test. But we can't figure out what the heck in w2k is causing the hang. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who might know. :) As always, thanks in advance and we appreciate your help. ----- Thomas Smith IT Supervisor, AKA: Systems Administrator, Network Administrator, Database Administrator, Security Administrator, Email Administrator, Telecommunications Administrator, Webmaster Henry Co Water and Sewerage Authority 770.957.6659 (v) / 770.898.8416 (f) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
