Installing an Internal Modem (Non Plug-n-Play) 25

Shutting Down to DOS

You can shut down Windows 95/98 and start DOS to run DOS

applications.

1. From the Start icon, choose Shutdown. Select Restart

Computer in MS-DOS Mode.

2. After restarting, get the A prompt (or B if you are using the B

drive.) Insert the Driver and Utilities diskette or CD and type

INSTALL. This loads the SETCOM16 program.

3. The SETCOM16 EXE program will suggest an address for the

modem. Use the tab to select OK or select Manual to change the

address.

4. SETCOM16 EXE will ask if you want to update the Windows

SYSTEM.INI file. Use the tab key to select None.

Note: Because you are running Windows 95/98, you only want to

update the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Selecting None will do this

automatically.

5. When you return to DOS, type C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Scroll

through the text for a line that looks like the following example:

C:\SETCOMM\SETCOM16.EXE 3E8 5.

6. Copy the line, including the I/O address and IRQ after the .EXE.

7. Type Win at the C:\ prompt to return to Windows 95/98.

8. From the Start icon, select Programs, then Accessories.

Choose Notepad.
