- Yes it is possible a lot of modems in Win95.
- In my computer I have 3 modems that I can use at the same time. I have
- Mouse=com1/irq4, external modem=com2/irq3,
- internal modem=com3/irq5, external modem=com4/irq9.
- (I also have soundcard/cd-player/networkadapter and a scanner in my
- computer)
- And the good thing is that I can use them all together if I want to.
-
- Normaly my com2 modems is used to send/recive fax, (DataFax)
- my com3 modem is used to call BBS systems, (Qmodem)
- and my com4 is used to Internet. (Dial-up Win95)
