If I have an internal modem already installed on a pc (com3), is there a way to install a second instance of the modem as Standard (generic) like you can do with an external modem?
Reason: I have a client that needs to access an old database system that will only allow a very slow baud rate (don’t ask). Newer and faster modems cannot back down to that spead. With an external modem (e.g. on com 2), I just add a modem in the operating system (win98) on the same com port but instead of making it the type it actually is (e.g. us robotics), I change it to Standard 28.800 Modem. It usually will work (if using the proper instance of the modem, not the generic, it usually won’t work).
I want to accomplish the same with an internal modem (and I don’t think the modem can adjust its com port). Any ideas (besides buying a cheap and old external modem to use just for that database).
Please help
