I've had, on occasion, difficulty with my system probing my modem. I've gone through the following progression: 14.4K No problems detecting it. (100%) 28.8K Occasional problems detecting it. (60%) 33.6K Seems to refuse to detect it. (10%) The percentages is an estimate of how often it will work. Each time the modem has been configured to COM3 (sio2) on IRQ 4, with the standard 3e8 base address. It's getting *really* frustrating. I've even tried changing the IRQ on this latest attempt to IRQ 3, but it still won't detect it. The machine I'm running is a 386DX-40 with 8M RAM. Is anybody aware of any incompatibilities with 386 motherboards and fast COM ports, or if the probe has problems, or if there is a way I can bypass the probe to get the thing to work? Oddly enough, if I boot into my DOS partition and use something like Telemate, it works fine. Mike.
