GP2 Modem Problems.. Help

by Kelby Richard Co » Fri, 13 Sep 1996 04:00:00

When I try to modem race with GP2 the game will not recognize Comm 4.  I
used the Comm utility and it let me see Comm 4 but when I tried to initialize
it said the modem was not responding.  What am I doing wrong?  The modem
sure works fine in Nascar and Indycar.  I'm really surprised that a game
of this calibur would have modem setup problems.  Hopefully it is just me
having setup problems.  Please advise.  Thanks.

> -------------------------------------------------------------------------For GP2, you need to disable the port where your modem is located through

your CMOS setup.(either com1\com3 or com2\com4) I had the same problem as
you, and I also was able to run Indycar and Nascar with no problem. Hope
this helps, but trust me, even after you get it working, GP2 modem play
is HORRIBLE. Papyrus has them beat hands down in that department!
