- There is no possible way to make two modems work on one machine, unless you
- would use a special serial card, that enables you to set com ports for a
- different IRQ then 3 or 4. This is if you are using a serial mouse.
-
- If you are using a PS/2 style mouse, you are a lucky guy!
- Just configure your first modem for either Com 1 or 3 at IRQ 4, and
- your second modem at either Com 2 or 4 IRQ 3.
-
- Now you should be able to use the two modems at the same time.
-
- I am not shure if Windows 95 is able to take advantage of the newer
- plug-n-play modems, so it could set it to a non standard IRQ for
- com ports.
-
- Hope this helps you,
