assistant: Hehehe, just got a strip of 32MB SDRAM from my friend for testing purpose
 on my OS/2 machine... running 64MB at 32MB SDRAM and 32MB FPRAM (lousy
 things!)... It is amazing... my computer runs quite a bit more efficiently
 when I load it up with apps and utils (usually about 15 at once... :) )
 Now, if I can only lenghten the testing period so that I can kept using
 thing thingy until I have the money to get another 128MB of RAM... :)
 In Vancouver BC, the BCTel set the code to #70 for the call waiting
 disabling... when you are dialing, use this code sequence for easier
 dialing...
 ATDT#70W123-4567
 The "W" code in there told my Courier to wait for the tone to come back
 on before dialing again, and you should check your white pages (or whatever
 page that comes from the local teleco :) ) and use the code that they
 indicated there...
 Some tech will test the thingy and say "absolutely" no problems, while
 the have absolutely no idea about what exactly to test, or how to find
 and test the problem, even with full instructions... (Warngin, some
 tech are rebadged salesman, do not, repeat, do not use their advice! :)
 I had to reinstall and reset a few cards in a computer where the tech
 told the owner "DELTREE ULTRASND" and whole bunch others... cause the
 CD and sound card to stop working REAL QUICKLY...)
 If anyone see those kind of techs, please, do the world a favour...
 make sure that they are not helping people to make their problem worse!

assistant: Normally, com1 and com3 share IRQ 4.  If you have a mouse on com1, and
want to use a modem on com3 (AND already have another modem on com2),
you need to change the IRQ for the modem/com3 to 5 or 7, and make
sure you don't have anything else using that IRQ (like a sound card).

Write your reply.

assistant: IRQ Conflict.
Unless you have a serial card that allows shared IRQ's, you need to assign a
different IRQ to each port. At default Com 1 & 3 are both set to IRQ 4 and
Com 2 & 4 are set to IRQ 3. So if you're trying to use com 3, it conlicts
with com 1. Try setting com 3 to IRQ 5 unless it's being used by something
else. IRQ 5 is normally LPT2, so should be free if you don't have 2 printers,
or a nic or some other device using that IRQ. If you have a 4 port serial
card, you might also want to check the manual for shared IRQ's. If you have a
2 port card, and 2 ports on the MB, then compare CMOS availible IRQ's for the
ports to the IRQ's your board supports and split them up so you have a
seperate IRQ per port.

I spoke to a Microcom Modem Engineer at Networld+Interop in Atlanta last

they are already shipping some of their products with it I noticed on their

BTW, they are calling their implementation of the K56 protocol MNP56. :)
Anyway, with any luck, I and who knows how many other Microcom users will
FINALLY be able to upgrade to 56k! :)

There's an IRQ conflict. The COM4 and COM2 use the same IRQ and so do
COM1 and COM3. If one is occupied than the other can't be used unless
you change the interrupts so they will not interfere.
HINT: Put COM3 on IRQ 5 and COM4 on IRQ 7 - that is if your soundcard,
etc. doesn't use them ;-)

���.�� Out of the stillness, The Electric Head said this...
the reason why you cannot get the modem to work on com 3 with the mouse on
com 1 is due to the fact they both share the same IRQ ... If possible get a
PS/2 style mouse....I have one (the ps/2 mouse) and 2 modems
internally....one on COM 1 and the other on COM 2.

assistant: Easy problem... YOU HAVE AN IRQ CONFLICT!!!
 Your COM 1 share IRQ 4 with COM 3 and COM 2 share IRQ 3 with COM 4...
 You can ONLY use two port that don't have IRQ conflict... OR unless
 you are switching their IRQ to different ones... but for an machine
 that only have 15 IRQs to spare... while the IDE eats up 14 and 15, the
 sound card here ate 11 and 5, and PS/2 mouse ate 12, parallel port ate
 7, and whole bunch more...
 Which is why some of those cards that don't use an IRQ is soooo NICE...
 like that Hayes ESP II (no need for IRQ under certain speed, inc 115,200bps)
 Love them... :)

Write your reply.

assistant: You'll have to set up one of the modems to use a non-standard IRQ
setting because ports 1-4 use only two different IRQs. If you want
to also use your fourth port for something else, or leave it open,
set both modems to non-standard IRQs. But typically, you can get by
with just one of them set that way. Try:
Mouse on COM 1 / IRQ 4      - standard setting
Nothing on COM 2 / IRQ 3    - standard setting
Modem on COM 3 / IRQ 5      - non-standard, jumper change on modem
Modem on COM 4 / IRQ 3      - standard setting
Alternate for COM 4 would be IRQ 2 if available on your machine. This
would allow use of all four ports with no restrictions..
If I remember right, (I have a Supra 288i and a 336i) your modem only
supports IRQ's 2-5.
If you have problems with setting up Windows 3.x or Windows 95
to recognize and use ports 3 and/or 4, insert the following at the
top of your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
DEBUG < C:\FIXCOM.DEB
and FIXCOM.DEB would be a text file containing the following:
e40:0
F8 03 F8 02 E8 04 E8 02
q
or this, if you go with IRQ 2 for COM 4:
e40:0
F8 03 F8 02 E8 04 E8 01
q
Some systems (old and new) do not properly recognize ports 3 or 4
if there is an unused port 2 and this fixes that problem.  I needed
to keep this in autoexec.bat all the time when I ran Win3x.. It was
only needed once for Win95 to set up and install the add'l modem..

assistant: I think you have an IRQ conflict.  It is customary to set com1 and com3 to
IRQ 4 and com2 and com4 to IRQ3.  If you want to use two serial ports AND a
mouse you'll have to come up with another IRQ.  Maybe one port can be
configured for IRQ 5 or something.

assistant: I am having a problem with calling out on my computer I have a 28800
and a 33600 modem which it came with. Each is hooked to it's own phone
line. If I have fd up on the 28800 and try to get mail with Juno on
33600 modem it gines a device error and won't dial. If I then close
FD it dials okay. If Fd is up and I use Hyperternal or telix I also
get a device error - won't dial. They are all configured to use the
33600 modem. If I close FD they will dial. If I run them before FD
thy'l work and if I proceed to start Fd they will continue to work.
Fd is on com2 with the Bnu fossil and runs great. I went into Win95
control panel and recheck all settings after I ran the two modem
setup wizard. The modem properties seems to be correct. The box for
the conflict list shows no conflicts.
 The compaq  28800 and 33600 reads respectively.
 Comport     com2      com4
 Interrupt     3         10
 Address      2F8       2E8
I closed all the other programs that were running to no avail.
If you have any ideas or suggestion I would like to hear from
you. Don't forget to give examples especially for anything in
Windows95.
 I wanted to use IRQ 5, 9 or 11 In Windows 95 but when
I tried to change it a message said it's not available and suggested
the nearest value that were already in use. Only 10 is showing no conflict.
04 has com1, 11 has two controllers an of course 03 for the 28800.
I also tried fossils 00X and winfossil with different switches it works
the first time after fd is up but when fd recycle from an exit and I try to
redial with the 33600 modem I get the same error like before. I am running
out out of stuff to try.

Sounds like the problem's with FD. Probably FD sees two modems and is trying
to grab BOTH at the same time. Obviously, you need to ask in FDECHO (Front
Door support) how to reconfigure FD so it'll ONLY see the one modem you want
it to see. Either that, or just get used to shutting down FD, starting up
your terminal program and then restarting FD. :)
