I thought I would include this message as part of my problem. When I try to connect to the serial port my computer says it "Can't open com port 1 the application is requesting" Any suggestions. I have already run a com port test and checked the parameter settings. They are set at 8 N 1 xon/xoff. Any help is greatly appreciated. Steve.

However, most newer computers put the modem on Com 3. The way that I have solved this problem is to get an older USR Sportster external modem and install it on the computer (on Com 1 or Com 2 for sure). No matter what you do, when you try remote programming for the first time---it's a hassle. It's even a hassle when you have to do it the 2nd or third time too. When (and if) you get it set up---don't let anyone mess with it. When remote modems work---it's a beautiful thing---but setting them up can be a real time waster and very frustrating. At times, you may have to have two people---one in the shop and one on site. If you can set something up on your bench--then one person is fine. If you haven't done any modem set up before---you may have to enlist some personal, on site help. Good Luck. Rockford VoIP

You can then go to your control panel and set it for any com port. mark ------------------ Reliable Telephone Service Reliable Telephone Service
