Re: <humble>Help? Coyote router, USR Sportster 33.6 ISA

Um. If I disable the serial ports in the BIOS, then won't they be, um...
disabled? Meaning, unable to be used by the modem? Maybe you mentioned that
only in passing, that it was one possibility offered in the BIOS? I know
that's true, because I have been in that BIOS for HOURS, it seems, lately.

No mouse. The Coyote interface is text-only. I disabled the mouse, along
with everything else I didn't need, in order to reduce the variables in
tracking down the conflict that keeps the modem from dialing out.

Check your BIOS.  You should be able to set the serial ports to whatever you
want, or even disable them.  Speaking of which, are you using a mouse?  I
know you said you disabled the PS2 mouse, but are you using a serial mouse?
Hmmm - Either way, forget COM1; go for COM4, which is 2E8 and IRQ3.  That
way, you should have no conflict with either of the onboard serial ports...

HTH,
