A friend of mine has a winmodem and ICR2, I'd love to play him over
the modem but when he goes to DOS to run ICR2, he can't access his
modem. Anyone find a way around this. Other than playing it from
Win95?????

Any ideas appreciated.

I believe that the U.S. Robotics WinModem is designed to be used in Windows
only. Probably his only other option is to buy a new modem.

Hope this helps...

Unfortunately a "winmodem" lives up to its name, it will only work
inside the Windows environment.  The only other solution is s***the
winmodem and get a real modem.

Yes tell him to get a real modem! The WIN modem is for use with windows
only that's the only way it will work!

This is an add-in board with one or two COM ports that will allow you to
use a "winmodem" in DOS.  It has 16750 UARTs, which result in generally
better communications all around (64 byte buffer instead of 8 byte,
higher throughput, etc.).
