Upgrading to the 1.40 BIOS resulted in a similar problem for me. Although the
system doesn't hang, any time I try to use the Mwave modem under Win95 with the
1.40 BIOS, Win95 believes that the modem is in use by another application. I
have tried re-installing Mwave 2.0 for Windows, but no joy.
Everything was fine before I installed BIOS 1.40. Immediately after installing
BIOS 1.40, I couldn't use Mwave 2.0 any more. I'm using a 755CX with 810MB disk
and 40MB memory, Windows 95 and plus pack installed in a virgin directory (not
on top of my old Win 3.1 installation). I'd call IBM for support, but they are
now charging $30 for every call if you use Windows 95!
I don't think any IBM folks lurk on this list, but if anyone has a tech or
marketing relationship at IBM I'd be delighted if you'd pass this message along.
I wouldn't mind if you'd join me in market-pressing IBM into supporting Windows
95 like like Dell, Gateway, and other competitors do. It has been almost four
months since Win 95 stopped being pre-release software, after all.
Be seeing you...
