modem question and modem string wanted

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

I have a dual boot system.

98se and xp.

Sure, note that both will take a comm port, so it would be best to
disable any onboard comm ports via BIOS. You may have conflicts which
might take some manual configuration in 9X.


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.

ISA isn't directly addressed in XP, and the modem may not "talk"
properly to XP for it to be installed [requiring XP drivers]. If you're
interested look for how to get ISA to work properly, and for an XP
driver for the ISA modem. Note, however, that this modem doesn't seem to
work in XP [or well from what I have found], its a softmodem.

The cl-md56xx Cirrus modem is an EARLY implementation of a Win-modem
[controllerless] meaning it is a SOFTWARE modem [and works better with
the 6.04 or later firmware upgrade, and many were under product
recall]. It also uses Cirrus Logic's special set of AT commands, so
standard Hayes commands may not work properly.


I just ordered a modem again. This time, I made sure it would have
drivers for both 98se and xp.

I think the only way xp would recognize it, is to do a reinstall or
repair install of xp.


I think you might be write about the com ports.

98se
Com port 1 (Maybe the mouse)
Com port 2 (ISA modem)
Com port 3 (maybe it was used for the old pci modem)

Xp
Com port 1 (Maybe the mouse)
Com port 2 (Unknown)

AT+M0,S22 (Put this in the extra modem settings)

I think the S code forces to show the connection speed, not the port
speed. Not sure if I remember if that is correct.




To all,
Does it hurt to have an ISA modem and a PCI modem installed at the
same time? I would like to keep it installed for Puppy Linux.
