- I'm going to take a wild guess but I don't have a PnP modem so I don't have
- experience with the set up. Normally Com Port 3 shares the same interrupt as
- one of the primary com ports (I think it's Com 1). The same thing applies to
- Com 4. Most I/O cards come configured for Com 1 and 2 enabled, even though
- you may have nothing connected to Com 2. Therefore, when the modem installed
- itself, it saw 1 & 2 as busy and settled for 3. The interrupt in use is
- probably conflicting with interrupt calls from another piece of equipment.
- If you have the ability to set the modem up for 1 or 2, that would be best.
- If you must go with Com 3, you will need to find an interrupt not in use.
-
- Of course I may be all wet in which case I wish you the vest of luck.
