Sounds like you need to install the MWave software (it is not included with
WIn95) in order to make your modem work. Either install 2.xx for Win3.11, or
look at the MWave site (http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/) and download 2.10 for Win95.
Install this, and you should have a functioning modem.

I think you're correct in saying that they can share the same interupt, but
cannot be used simultaneously. This is how COM3: and COM4: function (sharing
interupts with COM1: and COM2:)

I pull mine out and swap it for the CD-Rom while running all the time.
