If so, that's because they don't support that modem. You buy an OEM
product, you usually have to look to the seller for support - not the
manufacturer.

Yes but the reseller has to get support from the manufacturer.
I just purchased one also.  It seems to work ok.  This modem is not a
Windmodem so any inf file should work.  Haven't used Win2K yet but assume
the Win95/98 inf files will work in Win2K environment.  The modem doesn't
show a hardware id in Control Panel.

It has the same features as the 3CP5610 retail modem, but it has a
different PCI subsystem ID, which means if the .inf file is checked, it
won't match.

Not necessarily. Whatever "support" the reseller gets from the
manufacturer depends entirely on the agreement between the seller and
the manufacturer. That can range all the way from "full support" to
"Here they are - they're yours - have fun".

1. Problems?/Questions with 3Com 2977 OEM modem???

Just purchased an OEM 3Com 2977 PCI modem.  It seems to work fine except
that I have little experience with PCI modems and have a few
questions/problems.

1.  The modem will only go to Com 5.  Can this be changed?  This seems to
cause a problem when I use Hyperterminal in terminal mode to check modem
settings.  When setting up a connectoid it only gives me a choice of Com
ports 1-4 and not 5.  When I establish a terminal mode session the modem
only starts at 2400 baud.  I have set it up using direct to com4 and it
works but only at the slower 2400 baud setting.  Don't know how to change
this.  When I check the properties it shows 115000 baud setting!!  Is this a
limitation of Hyperterminal and/or do I need another Com program?

2.  I can change the Address settings but not the IRQ.  Right now it's going
to IRQ 9 with no conflicts.

2. HP 4M Problems!
