PhoneBlaster Cannot Hang Up In SuperVoice Or Fails To Connect To The Other Party

Problem:

PhoneBlaster configured on COM 3 would hang up in SuperVoice. You may also experienced the modem failing to connect to the remote party.

Cause:

This problem has been identified to occur with systems where the PhoneBlaster has been installed together with a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (with S3 chipset) SVGA card using generic S3 drivers included with Windows 95. However, if you were to switch to use Diamond GT drivers or the default Windows 95 VGA driver you would not experience any problems.

This is due AT systems are only executing 10-bit address decoding and this causes one of the Stealth 64 register(X2E8H) to be mapped onto COM 4(02E8H).

Solution:

To resolve this problem, you would have to re-assign the PhoneBlaster to use COM 1, 2 or 3. You may also obtained an updated VGA driver for your card from your dealer or manufacturer.
