Arachne modem base #?
« on: July 08, 2004, 09:44:17 PM »
Ok, I've been messing around with alternative OS's again, and this time I've decided to go back and try out FreeDOS along side with the plethora of GUI's Web Browsers and such available for it.

The problems I am having is that I am trying to set up Arachne:

http://arachne.browser.org/

for my modem. It will not auto detect, so I try to set it up manually, but I can not find the BASE Numbers that it asks for, only the IRQ and I/O numbers. Is there anywhere in winblows I can go to find out what this is?

P.S. it is not a winmodem.

I'm on XP and the problem is that when I go into the Hardware manager it shows the IO as c000-c007

as opposed to something like:

 0x2E8

How do I see it in the 0X2E8 form or what ever, that is what Arachne is looking for apparently, though it calls it base.

Ok, here is the deal. I am not running DOS inside XP, I made a new partition and dedicated it to FreeDOS:

http://www.freedos.org/

Which I dual boot with Boot Manager that came with BeOS.

I am dabling with the DOS GUI Seal:

http://sealsystem.sourceforge.net/

Along with OpenGem:

http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/

And am planning on using Arachne as the PPP Dialer and Web Browser.

Get the picture? :)  

(PS you can actually watch DIVX in pure DOS, not to mention burn CD's/DVD's ect!!!)

Don't ask me why, I'm just curios, I knew there was some sort of DOS cult following, and underground developement, and I wanted to check it out.

So now I need a way of finding out what those numbers are. Where can I go in XP to find this?

Apparently my Mobo is too new, as this is the first I've owned that does not have Legacy options in the BIOS. :/

I just ran into an updated version of Arachne, turns out it went open source, and has had constant support. :)

I'll see if this one improves matters, if not, then I'll be back. :)
