Hello group, this is my first posting here. I'd like to introduce myself and ask for support on a Megahertz modem problem I'm having. My name is Al Rovner, I'm an engineer with Tektronix and I own a Thinkpad 720. Hopefully it's ok to ask questions about non-750 machines. My 720 runs OS/2 2.1 (no service pack), 8MB RAM and a Megahertz xjack 14400 PCMCIA modem. The Megahertz modem runs just fine from initial bootup until the 720 goes into suspend mode. When awakening from suspend mode, I get various error messages about the com2: port. Messages like "The Drive is not Ready" or "This port is in use by another application", etc. My modem software refuses to run at this point. I don't believe this effect to be OS/2 peculiar. It happened under DOS before I installed OS/2. In chatting with a friend at the local IBM office in Portland, he acknowledged there was a problem with Thinkpad 720's and Megahertz xjack modems. I have been able to duplicate this problem by booting from a DOS floppy. The 720 will absolutely refuse to go into suspend mode at all while the modem is installed. Remove the modem (with the power still on) and no problem. You can suspend all you like. My friend said that Megahertz technical support is aware of this. Speaking of which, I have also chatted with Bob Sweet (sp?) from Megahertz who has been friendly and helpful, but alas we still haven't been able to fix my problem. I wonder if these two problems are related somehow? So there you have it. If any of you can help out please let me know and I'll gladly give any suggestions a try. I like the Megahertz modem, especially the pop out phone jack, it's much sturdier than I thought it would be. I just wish I could get this driver situation running to my satisfaction.
