Subj: Hayes Accura 28.8 voice (internal) with OS/2?

From: tuckerm@together.net

I have an old Hayes Accura modem that I'm trying to get working 
under OS/2 (warp 3 connect).  The modem is an internal 28.8 voice modem and
apparently is pnp as it has no jumpers.  I don't think that this a "win-modem"
but I could be wrong.  I cannot get OS/2 to see the modem and don't know how
to set the com port, base address and IRQ.  No manuals or disks.  Hayes web
site
has nothing on this modem that I could find.  Any ideas how to get this thing
working?

Get into your BIOS PnP Setup screen. Enable full PnP device configuration,
generally 'PnP Aware OS' _OFF_, and perhaps 'Reset Configuration Data'
_YES_. Note what IRQs are available in the 'PnP' pool. The modem will grab
one of these, generally 9 or 5 or 10. If you want to make things easy on
yourself (maybe), free up COM2 by disabling or reconfiguring an 'OnBoard
Port' and toss IRQ 3 into the 'PnP' pool. Reboot and eyeball the 'System
Configuration Summary Screen', and note the info for COM3. (or COM2)

Boot OS/2 and verify that 'Serial Device Support' is installed. Look up
COM.SYS in the 'Command Reference'..
