A. Modify the DICRMU01.SYS driver line in the config.sys file on your ThinkPad to include the /SH=1 parameter. The driver line should look like this: device=c:\thinkpad\DICRMU01.SYS /MA=C800-CFFF /SH=1 The /SH=1 parameter allows for modem interrupt sharing which could resolve some of the initialization conflicts when loading the ODI driver.
