F1GP:Com problems in Modem play

2 posts by 2 people · 20 Jun 1995 - 21 Jun 1995

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, ________ _________________ (_ |_| .. [ ] my job. [ ] my boss.
