- 1.) When we put this computer together a year ago, we put a $25 VLB
- controller/I/O card in (is this what is known as a multi-card?). The
- manual calls it a UN-1081VL Local-Bus to IDE and Super I/O Controller
- and MSD identifies it as a UART 8250.
- It was recently augmented by a Promise EIDE MAX controller card that
- can be installed alone or be used with the existing card. I want to
- pull the old I/O card and put in a 16550 I/O card.
- I have a Sportster 28.8 external modem.
- Am I on the right track here?
- 2.) I have check out the Navas and the Modem Center sites which are
- often recommended by posters here. I have read conflicting advice
- concerning getting any sort of fax software to run on WFWG. Any votes
- or suggestions for the most trouble-free software?
- I don't want to jump on the 33.2 bandwagon until the traffic dies
- down, but I appreciate all the reports.
- Thanks lots.
