modem driver (IMENABLE). If they do not match, either there are

multiple COMx keywords listed in the file or there are multiple

configuration files.

4 Run Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD) and see if the COM port shows

up. On some machines MSD will not show what COM port was

configured for the PRO/100 PC Card. If it doesn’t, try the

following command:

ECHO ATDTNNNNNNN > COMX:

where nnnnnnn is a telephone you can hear ring, and x is the COM

port number. If the phone rings, this indicates that the COM port is

correctly configured and that the modem is able to dial.

If the COM port does not show up after running MSD, try

changing the x the COMx keyword to a different port value (start

with COM4 and try each value in sequence through COM1). Power

down the computer between trials.

A. Verify that there are no communications/fax programs automatically

loading on Windows startup or running in the background.
B. If you are using Card and Socket Services, try the following:

1 In Windows, select Control Panel, Ports, and under Advanced, set

the selected COM port IOADDRESS to default, set the INTER-

RUPT LEVEL to the value specified by the INT or INTERRUPT

keyword in the LAN configuration file. You should also modify the

SYSTEM.INI file as follows: set COMxIRQ=y, where x is the

COM port the PRO/100 PC Card is configured as, and y is the

interrupt the LAN driver is using (as stated in the NET.CFG or

PROTOCOL.INI file).

2 If you are using the M16BODI driver and you receive a blue

warning screen stating that “A hardware interrupt has occurred,” try

adding the following section to the SYSTEM.INI file:

[VIPX]

VIRTUALIZE IRQX = OFF

where x is the interrupt number (in hexadecimal notation) used by

the M16BODI driver.
