3-3-94 Windows & Addresses & IRQs
Windows 3.1 has the addresses for COM3/4 set wrong. Use the control
panel and goto Comport, then Settings, then Advanced screen. Set com4
address 02E8, IRQ 3, com3 03E8 IRQ 4. If you set another IRQ on the modem
then use the control panel to set them for Windows. (Windows 3.0 doesn't
have any settings for COMport3/4, so you have to do a special setup, ask
MS.) Make sure no other Windows drivers are loaded for comports.
If you're using the external port and having comport errors, try
setting Com/3/4 correctly, as that sometimes still causes a problem.
Windows com.drv can only handle 19,200bps, so don't set any Windows
com/fax programs higher, unless you get a replacement driver like Turbocom.
>>> You cannot have a Dos TSR (like faxman) loaded when you want to use a
Windows com or fax program. And if you have a Windows com/fax driver
open/loaded, it controls the port, and can mess up both a Windows or DOS
fax or data program. (give errors when you try to access the port). Windows
drivers might cause a problem too, like a screensaver. Running a DOS
program from Windows may fail too.
If all else fails, then you may need to call Microsoft. For some
reason, sometimes when you change the addres/irq it does not Save the new
settings. MS has a debug procedure to 'fix' your comport setup.
