=======================================================================
     Enabling COM.SYS Device Driver to Work with PnP Modem Cards
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

The COM.SYS device driver does not always automatically detect PnP 
(Plug and Play) modem cards. 

RESOLUTION

To correctly configure the COM.SYS device driver for PnP modem
cards, do the following:

1. Query the system for detected settings of the adapter by
   typing the following from an OS/2 command prompt:

      RMVIEW /DC | MORE

2. Search this list for the PnP modem card.

3. Look for the IRQ and I/O Resources that are used by the PnP modem
   card. For example, you might see:

      Detected Hardware Function: My 288 V.34 DATA + FAX

      PnP Device ID: XXX1234
      PnP Compatible Device ID: none

      I/O = 0X03E8  Len =   8  Flg = EXCLUSIVE   Addr Lines = 16
      IRQ Level = 15  PCI Pin = NONE  Flg = EXCLUSIVE

4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and update the parameters for the COM.SYS 
   device driver. For example, using the example in step 3, to
   configure the modem for COM3, I/O address 3E8, and IRQ level 15,
   change the statement to:

      DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (3,3E8,15)

5. For more information on the parameters for COM.SYS, type the
   following at an OS/2 command prompt:

      HELP COM.SYS
