- Hi netters,
-
- My system has the mouse in COM 1 and a 2400 baud in using COM 2. However,
- since Windows 3.0, I can't use any Windows' communcation program to
- use the modem port. I set up port 2 as 2400n81 using Control Panel.
-
- Recently I upgraded to Windows 3.1, hoping the problem will go away, but
- to my surprise, it is still there. Terminal.exe will not work. Cardfile.exe
- will hang up the system if I try to use it to dial a number. The only
- communication program I can use is DOS based (which will lost sync. when
- I run another DOS program while downloading files).
-
- Has anyone got the fix to this problem? I noticed that if I pull out my
- Multi-I/O card, reset my modem to COM 1, then it will work. However, I have
- to live with my mouse for the moment and I can't change any setting on
- my Multi-I/O card because I lost my manual on that card.
