Do to some conflicts with some video cards 2.1.5-Release does not probe the sio2,sio3 ports. (com3,com4). To get installed via modem you will need to temporarly move your modem to either sio0 or sio1. (com1, com2). Beware of conflicts when moving the modem. ie: disable the current port at the address you choose. -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
