I though throw it out for suggestions. Any and all would be appreciated. Hardware: Zenith 286, Multi-Tech EC2400 internal modem. Software: Procomm Plus Configuration: Com 1 ISN network, Com 2 Microsoft serial mouse, Com 4 modem. The Problem: I pulled the modem card out of a Zenith 386 where it worked fine. When I installed it into the 286 all would appear normal i.e., it dialed, found a carrier, but then no response. It was installed in com 3. I called Multi-Tech and they said the serial mouse (386 had a bus mouse) was conflicting with the modem (something about IRQ conflicts, but I'm no techie) Anyway we played with the dip switches. And Com 4 seemed to work. And it does, sometimes. Sometimes it answers the carrier, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I lose my mouse and have to reboot after a modem session. Sometimes it won't respond to a carrier and I still lose my mouse. So there it is as best as I can explain it. I've been on the phone to Multi- Tech support several times. I get different answers from different people. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions to this irritating problem would be most appreciated.
