Hi , firt of all I was running Windows 3.11 for Workgroups with
the following configuration and It worked correctly . I upgraded
to Windows95 and now I cant get my modem to work .
system Venturis - the Palomino motherboard
Goldstar CD as second device on 1'st IDE
sound Card
internal fax modem Generic type 14,400
When I look at the modem settings from control panel>modem
I see that it sees an IRQ of 3 with and address of 2E8 .
Looking at the BIOS I see that port set at 2F8 , when I changed
it to be the same , I cant even talk to the comm port .
MSD shows no conflicts .
When I look at Comm 4 from device manager I see the port
allocated to IRQ 3 at address 2E8 with serialI.dll driver
and not COMM.drv which is what I want it to be .
Any ideas , thanks
Frank Bernal

It's always been hairy using COM1/COM3 and COM2/COM4 simultaneously.
First, delete all COM ports from Control Panel | System | Device
Manager. Shut the system down.
If you have a serial mouse, plug it into COM1. Set your modem to use
COM2. In your BIOS, the COM port reference is for ports build into the
mother board. Enable COM1 and disable COM2.
When you reboot w95, it should detect two new COM ports and install the
appropriate drivers for them. If it only detects one, force the OS to
Detect New Hardware and it should see it then!
Good luck,
Jason
