- Recently, I bought a new serial card with a 16550A UART chip on it. I wanted
- to replace my old COM2 with a 8250 UART. I removed COM2 from the Control Panel
-
-
- in Win95. But a funny thing happened. When I took out my modem installed on
- COM2, everything said that COM2 was missing, MSD, BIOS, etc. If I put in back
- the modem, COM2 was back. So I removed the modem, put in the serial card set
- to COM2 IRQ3 and installed it in Win95. When I put in back my internal Hayes
- Accura 288B V.34 + FAX, Win95 wouldn't detect it at all. No commands could be
- sent to the modem either. So I put back everything like it was, but I still
- have that weird modem problem with the COM port. The serial card is made by
- SIIG, Inc. There location of their web site would be nice. But would anyone
- like to explain to me this modem problem with the COM port?
