I don't think the com port is to blame. I have a modem connected to
com1 and the cm12 to com2. They have been working fine like this for
months, so I cannot see why the com port would suddenly fail. The
modem on com1 still works, so I don't think it is a motherboard fault.
Also I'm sure there is a slight burnt smell coming from the cm12 which
makes me believe it is fried. How do I use the windows terminal to
"talk" to the cm12? I am on Win98SE.

Thanks.
