Are you using ver 1.21?  I thought they fixed the com problem in that
version.

Steven, apologies, but NASCAR will only recognize int 3/4/5/7; I don't know
if there's any way to get a PNP card under WIN-95 reconfigured, but you may
be able to disable an on-board COM port (or switch the on-board interrupt),
and configure the Supra card with a recognized interrupt.  If you solve
this, can you post a reply on how you did it?

I've got the same situation, I bought the PnP modem, after all it is
easier to install right? Well I emailed papyrus and they said I should
change my hardware to accomadate their software. I hope in there
future releases they overcome this problem. They felt such a high IRQ
was very weird, well maybe it sounds like it might become more common
as people purchase Win95 and PnP modems. IMO to change a perfectly
good hardware setup for one piece of software seems to make PnP and
the purchase of PnP products worthless. It should be easier to write
the program to handle the different IRQ's then to have all would be
PnP/Win95 users going back to the "old days" of installing hardware
and moving stuff around to avoid conflicts. Why bother with PnP
then???

    The real question here is why bother with Windows 95 to begin with?
