- Help,
-
- I'm trying to add an internal modem into a 486/SX. This naff old machine has an
- old AMI bios, from which I can not disable any of the COM ports, inorder to get
- the modem running (which is what I've been told to do).
-
- I've changed the jumpers on the modem so that it runs on Com port 2. And if I
- type -> echo atdt 123 > com2 from the DOS prompt, this works. However, when I go
- into Windows and try to get any applications running, by telling the application
- to use Com port 2, the application complains that the Com port is already open.
-
- If disabling the port is the right thing to do, how do I do it, or what else can
- I do to get the Modem running from windows (3.11).
-
- Cheers Sanj....
