- Bit of a newbie here, but not so moronic as to realize just
- how screwy 95 is.
-
- I have a new internal modem, the utter twin of one that I have
- a similar machine at work. Both are Aceex 28.8 DM 2814H models.
-
- Even though it is internal the Modem Properties box, on more info,
- insists on listing the modem as attached to Com 2. Is that
- normal, beacuse it seems totally wrong to me.
-
- Anyway, at work the modem (with this COM2 business) works fine, and was detected by 95,
- and installed.
-
- At home, the new modem is not detected, and when I try to
- install it manually, I have to choose COM2.
-
- So, two main questions:
-
- 1) How do I get 95 to detect/install the little bastard?
-
- 2) Why isn't there a "internal modem" on the manual install
- boxes? Did Microsoft really think their OS could detect any
- internal modem that you plugged in there?
-
- Thanks...
