- Hi!
- It's been 4 months now that I've been trying to find a
- solution to this problem but I had no success. Maybe
- someone can give me a clue.
- Well, I have an IBM PS/2, 50z (a 286-machine) and I'm
- running windows 3.1. I have an old version of procomm (v.2.4.2)
- which is working perfectly. When I tried to run the
- windows terminal it seems that the software doesn't
- communicate with the modem and also anything I type
- doesn't appear on the screen.
- I tried all sorts of tricks. I disconnected the mouse
- in case it conflicts with the comm-1 port. I removed
- the expanded memory card to check for any interference.
- I called IBM and they washed their hands. I called
- Microsoft and they tried (for more than 1/2 an hour)
- to find any problem. Still no solution. I also got a
- new RS-232 in case there is a bad connection. When I had
- windows 3.0, windows terminal was working
- fine. I also changed the modem (got it from a friend of mine)
- and still the old procomm software is working fine
- but I can do nothing with windows terminal.
- I also got procomm plus for windows and it also does not
- operate with the modem. Furthermore as soon as I go into
- procomm plus the icon for the telephone indicates than
- the receiver is off hook but nothing happens. No dialling
- occurs. The screen also doesn't reflect what I type on
- the keyboard, the only thing I see is an "A"!
- It is really frustrating, and I would really appreciate
- if someone could give me an advice (since neither
- IBM who makes the computer nor MICROSOFT who wrote
- the software are capable to help)
- Thanks,
- E. Neoptolemou
