Installing a modem on 365XD
I had a lot of trouble installing my new modem on my TP365XD. Actually it
is the second time I am trying. I first tried with a Practical Peripherals
56K PCMCIA card, and now with a Hayes Accura 56K one. On the first I
couldn't get it to install at all. With the Hayes it does install, but I
have a couple of problems I hope that the group can me with.
1) In order to install the modem I had to disable the serial port on COM2.
The modem now uses that port. This is strange since my old modem (a
Cardinal 28800 PCMCIA) used COM3. If I need that serial port back what do I
do? Is it possible to switch the modem to COM3 like the other one?
2) In the Device Manager of Windows95 I have *2* entries for the modem.
This may have to do with the fact that I had to abort the initial detection
of the modem as it wanted to install the "Standard PCMCIA Modem" rather
than the Hayes. What do I do about this; keep both or try to get rid of
one?
