I've just recently acquired Net Yaroze, and I've managed to get
things set up. But I'm really having trouble setting Windows 95
to run without any conflicts.
Yeap, I know that *is* a challenge in itself.
But I could be doing without these frequent mouse lock ups.

Specifically, the trouble lies in trying to use an internal modem,
and using both serial ports (one for my Logitech MouseMan, and
one for the serial link to the Yaroze).
Currently, Windows automatically assigns I/O addresses and IRQs
as such.

Internal Modem      03F8/03FF       4
Com 2 (Mouse)       02F8/02FF       3
Com 4 (Yaroze)      02E8/02EF       3

Now, its obvious that the com ports conflict but I just cannot
assign a new IRQ to com 4. "This resource setting cannot be
modified" is what Windows spews out.

I know I won't be using the modem and developing on the Yaroze
simultaneously, so as a compromise I'd like to share the same IRQ.
Is that possible?

But trying that I just cannot get connected to Yaroze, either
through PsComUtil or siocons.

Now there must be someone using an internal modem and developing
on Yaroze and using Windows 95.
Do you have the same problems, and if not can you tell me how to
avoid these conflicts?

Cheers.
