Go into settings and click on the modem icon. Then "more info". With the
setup you have, your modem is probably using an IRQ other than 3 or 4.
If it is now, then click on the "disable in this profile".

The TNC settings for Hbaud must match the comm port settings, and WL.ini

The Omni has a setting you can vary for speed control. Get out the
manual and go into it to find out what's there. If radio control has
been working, skip it.

You must make these agree with the TNC and Radio settings.
