Yes, it is possible! 0x2f8, IRQ 3 is my Net Yaroze setting -> This IRQ is used by my modem (on COM 4, apparently) and also COM 2, and so long as I never use them at the same time I don't have any trouble. I bought an adaptor so I could connect the smaller-sized Yaroze port to my larger serial port, but I guess you did that already. >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? The only thing I can think of is that your second serial port may not be enabled in the BIOS. This is what happened to me - 4 hours of messing about adding and removing COM ports and configuring them, and the real problem was that my BIOS had disabled the second serial port. Grrr! Try quitting into DOS and running the Yaroze from there. If that works you at least know it is W95 specific. Good luck! I know how you feel...
