Help all,

I have a Win95 (OSR2) which had only a COM1 with a BitSurfr for ISDN support attached.

I recently had need to attach another modem, so I bought an internal one and tried to install it on COM2.

What happens, though, is that the BitSurfr, which always was on COM1 and remains configured as COM1, somehow gets switched to COM2.

Looking at the PORTS under Device Manager, I do see something strange: COM2 shows as "Basic Configuration 02" and correctly is on IRQ#3 and at the right addresses, BUT when viewed through "Basic Configuration 00" it shows the same settings as COM1.

I have been into SAFE mode and deleted all COMs, all modems and the MS dial-up adapter, but still no joy when re-installing. All is fine for the re-install of COM1, but when I move on to COM2 all hell breaks loose again.

It seems that if I could get rid of that COM2 "basic Configuration 00" setting with the COM1 info, then all would likely be well.

Does anyone know a way to fix this? Is there something akin to REGCLEAN for the WIN95 CONFIGURATION information? Does anyone know how to safely manipulate that WIN95 configuration information?

I really need to get this new modem operational.

Any help will be muchly appreciated.
