| Just a guess,
it's been a while since I played with a similar combination, but I
think you may need to make QEMM a little less "agressive" in the memory
areas it seeks out.
In a prior job, the standard was dos/win3.11/qemm on Compaq hardware,
and we found that we had to "back off" QEMM just a touch (I forget just
where the option was now, it's been 3 years!) to make it just a little
less agressive.
It's not much, but I hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've got some more data from
experimenting last night. The system works fine with mulitimedia and
MSOffice and all until I install the FaxTalk modem software. After
that, I start getting that GPF error with Excel and MSWord. The only
way to fix it is to completely reinstall Win3.1 and MSoffice. I've
tried just uninstalling the FaxTalk software and the problem persists.
Even if I do a clean boot from floppy, the problem persists. I am
running standard VGA from WIN3.1 on the video. It seems like the
installation of the FAXTalk software clobbers some Windows system file.
I've sent EMAIL to Cardinal and also the folks I purchased the modem
from.

>> Is the FAX line set up as the default printer?
That's a good point. I'm not sure. But I do know that the problem
persists even after uninstalling the modem (software and harware).
Tonight I'm going to try backing up my WIN.INI file before the problem
occurs. Then I will cause the problem to happen and see if I can fix it
by just restoring WIN.INI. If that doesn't help, I may try using
different modem software (QUICKLINK II). Hopefully, Quicklink II will
recognize that modem.

| Well, Quicklink II worked fine so I'm not going to mess with it any
longer. I sent EMAIL to Cardinal regarding the software conflict with
MSWord but got no response.
