I dont know wether I should be posting in here or in general modems, but i think it is a prob with xp:
Problem. - my modem (motorola sm56 speakerphone modem) will not dial the internet under xp (pro version) the manufactirers say their drivers are compatible with XP, but their not 100% compatible. it says "error opening port", but when i try to dial using hyperterminal, it dials ok.
My question to all you experts out there is why will it dial hyperterminal and not DUN ? is there anything i can do (init strings, registry fixes etc) to make it work. my pcs specs are as follows:
Athlon 1.33 Ghz
640 Mb ram
40 Gig pri hd (98SE)
8 gig slave drive (XP pro)
(modem)
sound blaster 128
hollywood decoder card (DVD)
dvd rom
cd-rw
and more i cant think of now.
sorry for prattling on too much.
