Do you have a Pentium? Are you running Win3.1 or WFW3.11? You know, there is a problem w/ Intel's Pentium motherboard w/ the built-in 16550 UARTs that causes problems — there is a Windows fix for this (among other places, you can GO GATEWAY to find it), but apparently you're still screwed under DOS — something about clearing or not clearing the data buffer. I've got my external modem on an add-in I/O board, so I don't worry, although I sure could use that extra slot! Good luck. Dave
