Yep, Tried everything I could think of and used all the tricks learned from 10 Years as a computer builder/reseller/tech support... Set the first serial port (using the 9Pin cable so I use the "COM1" BIOS setting) in BIOS to each of the 4 standard ports with proper addresses and I/O's, ie: 3F8 IRQ 4... Set the KPPP params to "com1" and then tried the other "com ports" after each BIOS change. The modem is found and tries to initialize regardless of which port I have it set to but only gets as far as the "O" in OK that shows up before the ADTD command in the log window. I can get it to dial using minicom regardless of which port I have it set to.... The internal modem is removed from system while trying to use the external unit. -- Ken Thompson, North West Antique Autos Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nwaa.com Sales and brokering of antique autos and parts.
