- I recently bought the complete pc communicator fax/voice/modem card for
- my system. This board is up and running. no problems. My problem now
- is that I need a 9600 bps modem and my current one is only 2400 bps. I
- want to know if it is possible to install a second modem board in my
- system. Considerations: I have to use comm 1 or 2 for my current modem,
- no choice. If I install a second one on the other port what happens to
- my mouse which I want to use also. I would only be running one modem
- port at a time but how do you switch between the two and still keep the
- mouse. My thought is to put the mouse on comm 3 or 4 and the modem on
- comm 1 in this case. Can this be done (Two modems at once). If so how
- and where should comm ports be assigned i.e. mouse=comm1 or mouse=comm3.
-
- Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks to all in advance. RDH
