Hello all!
I am running win 98 on a pentium 166 w/64 mb ram. I bought an old, (but new in
box) Compaq/Microcom 510 plug & play serial/parallel external modem.
I installed the modem on com2 (my only external port) as a serial modem. I
cannot use it as a parallel modem for other reasons.
The modem worked fine after install and got on the net quickly, but after
disconnect and trying to re-connect, IE5 says "cannot find modem". I click
modems in control panel and go to diagnostics and get "port already open"
I remove and re-install the modem and once more it gets on the net. On
disconnect the pattern repeats.
I cannot turn off the modem, (no switch) except by unplugging its power supply,
but this doesn't help
Any advice is appreciated, even a DOS batchfile to close com 2. Thanks,
Jim Harris
