Default modem question and modem string wanted

Greg wrote:
modem question and modem string wanted

Is it ok to have an isa modem and pci modem installed at the same
time?

I have a dual boot system.

98se and xp.

98se and puppy Linux live cd does recognize my ISA modem (cl-md56xx
cirrus logic)

Windows xp does not.

However, xp does recognize the ESS 1868 ISA sound card.
I hope that does not mean, I have to reinstall XP, so it will
recognize my modem. I did try the standard modem trick


As far as the string wanted

For 98se
What is the string to mute the modem volume and show the connection
speed, not the port speed.


Greg




XP should work with a standard ISA modem

the built-in "genric" drive should work

It may be an IRQ conflict

have a look in the control panel...
and if there is a conflict...try re-assigning the resources.

It may be a bit of trial and error but within a try or two
you should resolve the conflict

(if there is one)
