On the CD there's a util called COMSETUP.EXE . It's in the directory
\UTILS\COMSETUP.
Before starting GP2, start the util with :
D:\UTILS\COMSETUP\COMSETUP 03E8 02E8
This will set the COM-ports to the normal default adresses.
After this, start GP2 as usual.
When using a mouse on COM1 you will find COM2 and COM4 available.
Without a mousedriver loaded also COM1 and COM3 become available.
On some I/O-cards/modems also the interrupt numbers can be changed.
As far as I know GP2 only uses IRQ3/4 (i.e. IRQ4 for COM1/3 and
IRQ 3 for COM2/4) and this can't be changed.
The COMSETUP-command is neccesary every time before starting GP2 because
GP2 does not remember the changes after a computer-reboot.
The file COMSETUP.EXE can be copied to ANY directory on your harddisk if
you wish to (i.e. your GP2-dir) and then be launched from there.
If you're using DOS-multiconfig like I do, you can add the line to your
autoexec.bat just before the GP2-command.

You need to disable the port (com1/3 or comm 2/4)where your modem is
located in your BIOS setup. That should do it, it fixed my problem.

Hi there.
I have an internal modem too.
In my gp2 setup, I use this command:
comsetup.exe 2ef 2e8
The comsetup file is on your gp2-cdrom.
My internal modem uses com4 too and the 2e8 is the hex-adress of my PC's
comport 4.
If you use win95, you can see the hex-adress in Start-settings-system.
Good luck.
Let me know if it works for you too... :-)
