Sprint says it's an IBM issue - that the internal modem and serial port are sharing a ComPort (Com 1 and Com 3) and that I have to enable Com 2. IBM won't offer any help because the machine is no longer in warranty - but they hint it is a software issue, and won't tell me which software to use for the fix, so I'm quite irritated. Do you have any answers for me? I'd love to learn to do it myself. I have MS Millenium as my OS. Thank you, Sharon Healy ------=_NextPart_000_0000_01C0378D.B26EDBE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
