Step 9 You will need to modify your config.sys file. Find the entry for COM.SYS (It should be just after the KEYBOARD.DCP statement and before the VIOTBL.DCP statement. If it is not, arrange the order of the statements so that this requirement is satisfied.) If there is no COM.SYS or VCOM.SYS statement, add these to your config.sys file (see the example for the proper syntax). Be sure these statements are between the KEYBOARD.DCP and VIOTBL.DCP entries.
Modify the COM.SYS statement using the values you recorded in Step 4:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (x,yyyy,n)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
Where: x is either 1, 2, 3, or 4 (COM4 is recommended)
yyyyis the I/O Port Address ( in Hexadecimal) of the modem n is the IRQ number of the modem
Example: DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (4,F400,11)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
Step 10 Save the new config.sys file. Check that the installation diskette has been removed from the floppy disk drive and then reboot the system.
Step 11 You will now be able to use your communications programs at the COM Port you assigned in Step 9.
