- What terminal program are you starting from the Startup Group?

-
- If by "see the modem" you mean see the commport you've set your modem to
- then check for these command lines in SYSTEM.INI in your /WINDOWS directory:
-
- [boot]
- ;a semi-colon in front of any line turns it into a REMark, from a command
- comm.drv=wfxcomm.drv
- ;place a ; in front of any other command line starting comm.drv
- ;cybercom is also good
-
- [386Enh]
- MinTimeslice=5
- WinTimeslice=100,100
- WinExclusive=0
-
- ComnAutoAssign=x
- ;where x = 0 for never warn when two applications are wanting to use
- ;the same serial port n, -1 brings up a dialog box allowing you to choose
- ;which application should use the comport where there's a conflict
-
- COMnFIFO=1
- ;where n is your comport number
- ;this switches on Wfxcomm.Drv's FIFO enabling
- ;despite other programs doing it (they're wrong :) this switch will _not_
- ;respond to =yes or =true. Boolean it is, verbose it ain't :-)
-
- ComBoostTime=2
- ;Windows gives timeslices to the selected application using the comport
- ;measured in mSecs to process the interrupt. Experiment between 2 default
- ;and 5. Too high a number really drags down the rest of the system
-
- ComnBuffer=1024
- ;Try this figure first, if errors: increase to 2048 or even 3072
- ;If you still get errors at 2048 or 3072 then your probs not here :-(
-
- COMnIrq=z
- COMnBase=xxxx
- ;address parameters
- ;where z = IRQ number, n = comport number, xxxx = address
-
- COMnTXSIZE=8
- COMnRXSIZE=8
- ; reset TX & RX sizes, configure the UART, but may not be needed with a
- ; FOSSIL locking the ports. Sizes listed are defaults
-
- Hope this helps
