[pchelpers] Re: US Robotic fax modem external-


Hi!

Did you ever get a reply on this?

The manual should tell you what the switches mean.  If you haven't
touched them, the default settings shoud be ok.

You didn't say what model the modem is...

What do you mean, it doesn't recognize the modem?  You should be able to
hook it up to one of the com ports, set it up in Windows on com1, then
check to see if there's a response (in WinXP, I'd go to Control Panel ->
Phone and Modem Options -> Modems -> Properties -> Diagnostics -> Query
Modem).  If no response, I'd switch the cable to the other com port and
try again.
