I erased it by accident...heheeh Just an update. I connected the modem to the external com2 port. It dials, but it disconnectes in the middle of the tones. I'm gusssing it's in the init string and i have to tweak it. You wouldn't hapen to know of a string that is nice with USR, Ascend, and Livingston com servers would you? I am also wondering if I'm putting the strings that I've tried in the right place. I am putting them before the ATDT###-#### in my connect script. So that portion of my script would look like: AT&BLAH-BLAH-BLAH OK ATDT525-1330 Is that correct? Thanks in advance, Chris -- -- -- It is COM3 and COM4 or thats what it reports in Win95. Also yes all the sio's are being probed, I configured the kernel to probe them. Still no help. I have an old USR Sportster 28.8 that I'm gonna try hooking up to COM2 and see if that works. I just need to get a cable, which I plan to do today. Is there anything special I need to do for USR Sportsters? Cause it has those DIP Switches in the back. Any special ones need to be down or up? It is an external.
