I'd appreciate suggestions on the modem problem. Wayne ******** details follow: I ordered a new scsi cable and received it saturday. It's been working fine, with one drive sync'ing at 160mb and the second one at 80mb; since the drives are identical, I'm not sure why they sync at different speeds, but they seem to be solid for 2 days now, whereas they wern't working at all before the cable swap. But, now I can't get the Actiontek modem to work. For some time it was coming up as irq 3, and working, but since I had the box apart to put the new scsi cable in, it is now coming up as irq 5. Changing the com.sys statement in config.sys doesn't help. If I run the Actiontek pmdmcfg utility it shows the modem as I/O port CC00 and IRQ 5. The PCI sniffer shows those same values. With com.sys parameter Compuserve CIM gives this message (port,addr,irq) (4,CC00,5) "Could not initialize port" (2,CC00,5) same (3,CC00,5) same (4,CC00,3) former setting "Modem not responding" Altering the modem port in Compuserve does not seem to affect the problem, it is apparently related only to the irq setting.
