different modem this time
this one is on a 486dx66, 8MB RAM, 250MB HDD, win3.11
Ran a comprehensive test and it showed the modem not functioning.
I've set the switches on the back to com2 although they don't show irq
settings. Yes, internal modem.
I was last fighting with an internal 33.6 modem with cryptic jumpers and
finally decided to try a different modem, this one (i think) is a 14.4
Well, no guarantees, since I haven't researched the fcc id on it and so who
knows what it is?
Now, one thing did come up in all the various tests, coms one and two don't
have the up-to-date uart chip, com 3 has uart 16550 but when I had the
modem set to com 3 it knocked out the mouse when trying to run trumpet
dialler. The test also showed that com4 does not exist.
I set the comports in windows to com1 irq4, I/O 03F8 and com3 irq4 I/O 03E8
That didn't help. Only by setting the modem on com 2 did it not interfere
with the mouse.
There is only the modem, controller and video cards, and the mouse is the
only serial device on com 1.
The modem has 6 switches with a little diagram indicating which ones go up
or down according to the com setting desired.
What now?
bear in mind that I'm logy with the flu and require very patient
instructions.
I got all the software installed and tuned on this thing anyway, took
awhile to find a 16 bit browser!
