THE DISK SHIPPED WITH THE BOARD IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS USE.
that is your problem. i had this when i installed the combo board. i
called at&t and they pointed this out. you must use the expansion
port software which came with the 3.51 system. there is a specific
disk for this installation which is different for 3.51.
since finding the appropriate disk and using it, all is well.

a

to
those
