- Thank You for the tip.
- I've tried it, too. With the same result. After 3-4 minutes on line, the
- modem stops responding, and I can no more initialise it until I re-boot
- the computer. (It does though answer the computer's query made through
- 'Modems-Diagnstiques-Informations complementaires' applet (I use W'95's
- French version).
- I've tried also to plug it as a PNP device. Win 95 persisted assigning it
- to COM1, so I redirected (via BIOS), the real COM1 to COM3. This shows no
- conflict, but the modem still hangs.
- I have no problem, though, connecting a 14400 Multitech ZDX to COM1/COM2.

- :-( I'm desesperate :-(
