No modem installed. I've checked the BIOS and it gives me the option to assign memory and IRQ allocations. Tried 2F8 and and 3F8 and rebooting, still no joy. It even has all the IRQ assignments in there, no conflicts shown. It shows COM 1 and COM 2 as the defaults. Hmmm. I'll try some of the other advice shown above and get back. Cheers dudes.
Also., check in device Manager..
since you don't have a mouse, you have to do some fancy keyboarding.. when win98 comes up.. press tab until My Computer is highlighted.. then while holding ALT down, press enter. then tab over to Device Manager and see what is listed there under Serial Devices.
Is there any other hardware installed in this thing that isn't normal?
