Microsoft had to guess where COM3 and COM4 are since there is no standard. They made a lousy guess. But they provide a way for you to correct their mistake. In SYSTEM.INI in the [386Enh] section, add Com3Base=03E8h (or whatever address your modem uses, see its documentation). For more information see the SYSINIn.TXT files. ----------- Mike Lipsie mikel@pyramid.com Pyramid Technology Corp, Mountain View, CA +1 415 335 8657 "Toto kansasoseum non est cognito" -- Phil Frank

RE: Patriot on Com3 (Com1/Com4). I just saw a patch on a local BBS about this. I seem to recall that it said something about there needing to be a patch done to the comm.drv(?) since it's looking only for Com1/Com2. If noone else suggests something, I'll bring it the docs tomorrow and post it. Carl Schelin tcs@router.jhuapl.edu
