Just want everyone to know that I've just picked up a Megahertz 14400 w/
XJACK.
WOW! What a nice modem! I can cover the PCMCIA slots with the card in, no
funky adapters!
Let's see... What did I have to do to get it to work?
PLUG IT IN! What a breeze!
Ok, seriously, there was more... I installed the EasyPlay stuff from IBM for
OS/2 and DOS.
Under DOS, it was instant GO. COM 2, 14400 v42bis. Done.
Under OS/2. I had to stop using my SIO/VSIO setup. For some reason, I could
only get COM 1 active, which is the external port. Soooo, I just used the
updated COM.SYS from IBM and Guess What. Done.
I can't wait to put this card under some true multitasking strain with OS/2!
Any ideas how to get to use SIO/VSIO? Does it matter? What am I losing,
since I don't think there is a true 16550 in the card?
As it stands, I can't recommend this card enough. Of course it benifits
strongly from IBM's impressive EasyPlay software. Way to go IBM and
Megahertz!
