Recently I asked for help in getting the Digicom Connection softmodem to work reliably under
OS2Warp and received help from Kevin Hine and others from the IBM Group. I'm grateful for their attention to this problem. However, there was further work to do to get it all working and I want to pass it on to anyone else who may have the same problem. I'm not sure that what I have done is completely correct, but the modem is now working as it should. The following is my solution, but I am open to further input if a better way is out there:
(1.) Install WARP'S "Serial Device Support" and set up the COM port as per message #456425 of Aug.29 from Kevin Hine of the IBM GROUP.
(2.) Add the following path statement to WARP's C:\CONFIG.SYS:
C:\MDOS\SMODEM
(3.) Add the following two lines to WARP's C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET SMODEM=C:\SMODEM
DL d192df ....or DL d144df (depending on your selection for the modem.)
CAUTION: ONCE YOU HAVE IT ALL SET UP, DONT FIDDLE WITH THE SOFTMODEM MANAGER WHILE IN WARP!!! (SET THE MODEM SPECS FROM DOS, ONLY)
This works on my ISA machine with COM1 and COM2. If your modem is on COM3 or COM4
and still have problems, you might look into the S10 driver from Raymond Gwinn located on Compuserve at 71154,575 or on Internet at ray@gwinn.com or download SIO150.ZIP from OS2 User, Library 3, "OS2 & Hardware" as a possible solution.
