9854 2001-03-12 02:59:00 MODEM: Rockwell 56k ACF 11
FAX+DATA+VOICE MODEM
PLUG AND PLAY

When Windows 98 first detects this modem, it installs correctly to:

BASIC CONFIGUATION 0008 Input/Output Range 0138-013F
Interrup Request 10
COM 5

DEVICE MANAGER>MODEMS>(select)>PROPRETIES

And everything is sweet as.


On rebooting, Windows changes this to:

BASIC CONFIGUATION 0007
Input/Output Range 02E8-02EF
Interrup Request 10

Then the programs can not find the modem.

In both cases the GENERAL Tab shows THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY, and RESOURCES show
NO CONFLICTS.

Tried unchecking
USE AUTOMATIC SETTINGS, it doesn't help. Also tried to CHANGE SETTINGS on BASIC CONFIGURATION 0007 to those of 0008 but Windows won't allow this - THIS RESOURCE
SETTING CAN NOT BE MODIFIED.

Changing the BASIC CONFIGURATION from 0007 to 0008 makes no difference either.


Short of removing the modem each time I wish to reboot, what can I do?

9855 2001-03-12 23:32:00 Your problem could be 'COM 5'
Do you have other devices on COM 1 to 4?
Open
Control Panel
System
Device Manager
Ports
and see if COM1 and COM2 Properties/Resources OK

I thought of this but dismissed it without checking.
After reading your reply, I decided to check.

At this point it would be nice to say it fixed the problem but it didn't!!

COMs 1-3 all show THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY and NO CONFLICTS. These ports have nothing connected to them. As COMs 4-5 are vitual ports how do I check these?

If you have a further suggestion, I'm eager to hear it.

Thanks Again
