Re: 150 and Operations Console

["Clare Holtham" <Clare.Holtham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Philipp,

The part no on the serial end of the cable is 44H7504 (0362) - what does
that tell us?
And yes, I did install the 'modem' using the driver 'mdmnmn.inf' in the
Client Access\aoc\inf directory - I'm using an old version of CA -V3 for
Win95. Note this is a different driver from the one I used in Win2000 to
access our 800 (which is working).
Any ideas?? Not sure how to tell whether Com1 or Com2 is the correct serial
port..

cheers,

Clare
