F1GP:Com problems in Modem play

by Alessio Lomusc » Wed, 21 Jun 1995 04:00:00

Hello,
I have a great problem i didnt see mentioned in the FAQ.
My internal modem uses com 4, since the 1 and 2 are piloted by the
serial ports.
When i try the link option the com 4 is never selectable and sometimes even
the 3 is not.
Is F1 designed to work just with the serial ports and i cannot use a different
com? This way i could only use an external modem....
I know there are some solutions to remap the coms, but before trying
and losing a lot of time i'd like to know if REALLY
f1gp cannot handle coms 3 and 4.
Someone around? Thanks!
Best,

Well my modem works with com4, but only if i load a fossil driver in before i
run F1GP, the fossil driver is called BNU 1.70. I find that loading it and then
unloading it (silly, i know! :) will let F1GP talk to my modem.

Hope this helps,
