RE: Calling PCMCIA modem suspends my TP500
FORWARDED MESSAGE from Jack Schudel (SCHUDEL @ SMTP {SCHUDEL@ufl.edu}) at

I have a TP500 with Megahertz XJACK Gold 14.4 modem.
If I setup a com or fax program to answer an incoming call, the
TP500 goes into suspend after the first ring.
(Actually, it is a weird suspend mode, since it requires a keypress
to get out of it... pushing the TrackPoint will not remove it from
suspend.)
If goes into suspend even if I go into setup and disable power
management.
This is true in both native DOS and OS/2 Warp.
Could some of you try this and let me know if this happens to you?
Maybe with different modem cards?
Any suggestons on how to track down a solution to this?
/Thanks.    -jack

finally, something that i might know about...
i had the same problem and found a solution.  here it is.  i hope it 
works for you:
in your config.sys file, you should have a line that looks something like 
this: device=c:\pcmplus\pcmss.exe /S0=1 /TP500
if you don't have the "/tp500" switch at the end, that's probably the 
problem.
you probably got this problem b/c you installed the drivers that came 
with megahrtz.  i don't think the drivers from megahrtz adds the switch 
at the end.  ever since i discovered that, even though i found a "newer" 
version of the phoenix drivers at the ibm bbs, i haven't the courage to 
install them.  i now have no problems with my modem (though i eventually 
returned the megahrtz modem for an Angia modem).
btw, if anyone has installed the newer version of the phoenix drivers (or 
if anything i said above is totally off base), then please e-mail and 
enlighten me.  thanks
