Hi Guys,
I have a good stumper for you!
I have a PC (Compaq Presario, 533 MHz) running Powers Insight to manage our System 600 building control network.
It works ok on this new PC although the data doesn't seem to refresh as quickly as it did on the old 486 we were running a few weeks ago.
The PC connects to the LAN (System 600 network) via a RS232 on COM 1. This then is connected to a "box" which I believe is an RS232 to RS485 converter. Then out to the network.
Here's the screwy part.
If I try to use my modem which lives on COM 2 the connection to the network dies. the data does not refresh and it just dies this horrible slow death. As soon as I cut the modem connection it
bounces right back.
Here is the dope on the network connection and the modem:
Here is the MODEM:
HSP56 MicroModem by PCtel Inc. (came with the system) Hardware Version 002
COM 2
Dos Support
COM 2
Base Address 2F8
Interrupt 3
Windows says this modem is at IRQ 3 with and I/O Range of 14C0 - 14FF
Here is the dope on COM 1:
Serial Port
IRQ 4
I/O Range: 03F8 - 03FF
Any clues to this problem would be great, I am trying to use PCAnywhere with this as well as checking E-Mail via modem.
Thanks,
Doug
