Could you reply to this again? 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.
Thanks again,
Chris
