- A lot of what you can do depends on what you have using Com1 and / or
- Com2. If you can re-arrange your devices to clear Com1 or Com2 for the
- modem, then this is your best solution.
-
- If you can't rearrange things easily, you can use our SwapIRQ utility
- - SwapIRQ is an interrupt redirector for DOS applications. SwapIRQ
- intercepts the IRQ generated by your modem and re-routes it to where
- your software wants it. I've used it with Express version 2.02 for
- some time. A trial version is available from our home page listed
- below.
