Hello! I just installed Warp (CD ROM version) today and it
worked fine except for one thing: the communications aspect.
First I couldn't get the system to understand my Intel
Satisfaxion board (set to com2, standard I/O) or my fax
capability. I saw in a message that Warp is supposed to
understand this board...
It magically worked for a day (com only), sort of: it actually
sent an initialization string which the modem returned with
"Error". From there I was able to manually dial, which isn't
what I would call working, but at least I could dial in. The
error message from Warp is that it can't initialize the modem.
IBM's help (granted I called the wrong number) was pretty useless
since all it said was to check the IRQ's and ports. Ah well.
I tried disabling COM2 on the serial/parallel/game port card, but
that disabled COM2 throughout the entire system. Oddly, when I
disabled COM2, it also disabled COM3, although that works off
COM1.
Any suggestions as to what is going on here?
Robert
