Hi,
As I said in an earlier post, I installed one of these modems in a
slink box last evening. I think I remember a similar plog entry before
I disabled the pnp and set the irq and com port with the jumpers.
What seems to have been happening here was the software would send the
initialization string (I did not change the default) but it never got
the "OK" or whatever it was waiting for. Once the hardware and software
were configured properly, there was no problem at all.
My modem is a Diamond Supra Express 56K V.90 (ISA), and I think it is
the same as the original poster's.
