Hi,

I recently upgraded my machine from 2.1.0R to 2.1.5R and I have the following 
problem: My modem is not detected !!!
I have an internal modem in COM4 (sio3) which worked in 2.10R and works in 
Win95. I don't have a COM2 serial port so there mustn' be any problem with
IRQ 3. 
Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas Terzis

P.S: here is a piece of my config file and what i get during start-up

MYKERNEL
device          sio0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device          sio1    at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr
#device         sio2    at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 4 vector siointr
device          sio3    at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 3 vector siointr
