while waiting for some responce I hacked around on this old box and solved part of the issue...I switched the modem to com 2 and disabled com 2 in the bios..then swithced the port in ppp setup to com2...this allows me to connect and download without the mouse movement nessessary....I suggest if you are useing an ISA internal to try this..this is a 33.6 modem but is very slow compared to its function under win95the question is..why is my connection so slow |
