- Having problems with new USR Sportster 28.8 external modem and Win95.
- Replaced an old 2400 modem . . . operating on COM 2, IRQ 3. USR is
- supposed to be PlugnPlay but is not recognized by Win95, so I chose it
- from the list and is apparently installed okay, BUT logs on
- momentarily then in the middle of downloading a Web page will FREEZE
- the whole system. CTRL-ALT-DELETE won't do anything, needs to be
- rebooted. I thought this might be an indication that the IRQ could be
- wrong, BUT it works on a 2400 connection with AOL (please, no lamer
- comments; this is for a friends system). I've tried to change the I/O
- address but Win95 won't let me. I've experimented with turning the
- FIFO off--no help. The DIP switches are set with 1,3, 5, 8 in the
- down position.
-
- Has anyone encountered this? Solutions? MUCH THANKS for any help!
- Please include an e-mail reply in any responses as my news server
- doesn't seem to get all the articles being posted.
