- I just went through a couple of hours of pure hell... I installed a new mouse
- and a new modem on my machine: i connected the mouse to COM1 and the modem to
- COM2. When i restarted Win'95, everything seemed to work: The modem was
- recognized properly, tested and all.
-
- Then i create my internet connection, but it refuses to connect with the modem,
- complaining that the modem is not properly atached. I re-booted, tested the
- modem again with the diagnostic tab in the hardware seting, and everything
- checked out alright...
-
- Out of frustration, i took a desperate and stupid decision to switch the mouse
- and modem so that the modem would be on COM1 and the mouse, on COM2.... IT
- WORKED !!!!
-
- I have no idea why it worked that way, and not the other, and i would love it if
- someone could enligthen me.

- Thanks,
