- Just because you are using the default com ports does not mean that there is not an error.
- If they are both default to com 1 - big problems. As for the diamond stealth boards; they
- use the address typically employed by com 4. So this should not be a problem. Your best bet
- is to make sure that the mouse is on com port 1 and your modem is on com port 2 and
- further, that they have the correct interupts and addresses. To disable com 4 Look in your
- system.ini file for where the irq's and base addresses for com port 2 are and then type the
- same thing for com 4, but set disable. It should look something like this:
-
- com4irq=disable
- com4base=disable
-
- I would avoid putting the modem on anything but com 1 and com 2 because some tcp/slip
- programs (like mine) will not recognize com 3 or com 4 modems and irq problems are likely!
-
- good luck,
