Bart:
You probably are speaking of win95
"control panel -> system -> device manager -> modems", being the terms used
in the win95 English version.
>From what you have written I will infer that by "config screen" you mean
"control panel". On a win95 machine having a real modem, if you click on
"control panel -> system -> device manager -> modems -> driver" you will
see the note "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this
device". I don't know if all "non-real" modems require driver files to
have been loaded.
If you have a WinModem, or some peculiar type of modem that behaves as the
one I have described, (It might actually be a WinModem. I don't know. It
was manufactured by Action Tech) then you might get your modem to operate
under DOS only after win95 has been "restarted in MS-DOS mode". I am no
Windows expert. I cannot explain why. I am only reporting a personal
observation. I hope there is someone on this list who can explain it.
Has anyone else ever had a similar experience with a "non-real" modem?
