Hi again, and thanks. Yes you are correct, I should have given more info.
Sorry about that. Its on a W95. Now here is the sticky part, its not my pc. i am trying to help someone-thru E-mail(makes it that much more fun). its a gateway 233MMX. I dont know what MB or Modem manufacture, great huh. I was really hoping that there was a way to force a modem to use a specific com port. and I was hopeing it would be a generic typ of way that would apply to most PC's. I should no better!
i am also learning as i go along on this. How do you shut off a com port in the SET-UP? Would i go int the setup and Disable the serial port? Just go by the IRQ to see which one I want to stop? ex: IRQ is com2 so disable that 1 to force use of com 1?
thanks again
