Hi David Rance, hope you are having a nice day

JS>>I believe that some versions (the one I'm running, for example)
JS>>require something called NTCOMM.
DR>Mmm, we had this conversation last February, if you remember. I tried
DR>NTCOMM but it didn't work here. Maybe it's because I've only got WIN98
DR>on this machine.

I'm using the ntcomm version on the laptop under the first version
of '98. Maybe there's a code difference between the us & uk versions
of '98 that's affecting things?

I have had one problem wrt finding the modem in '98 but it
happens w/ fully '98 native programs like junoweb and hyperterm
as well as dos programs like terminate, bt/dos, etc.

The modem is a pcmcia modem and at times if I start a comm type
program, '98 acts as if I'd just unplugged the modem. I have to
reboot 2 or 3 times before I can finally use it.

Another problem is bt(dos/w32) not seeing the modem to begin w/.
In that case I have to pull it out, wait for the system beeps
for unplugged cards, and the plug it back in at which point it's
seen by any/all comm programs. :/
