Installing an Internal Modem (Non Plug-n-Play) 27
Opening a DOS Window
From Windows 95/98, you can open a DOS window to run DOS
applications. First, you need to make sure the modem address is
accessible by a DOS application. DOS applications can usually only
access standard COM ports COM 1, 2, 3, and 4. Follow the steps
below to check your modem settings in Win 95/98 to confirm that
your modem is configured for an address accessible by your DOS
application.
1. From the Start icon, select Control Panel. Double-click on the
System icon.
2. Select Device Manager. Choose the Modem tab, and highlight
the modem you want to use. Press Properties.
3. Select the Resources tab to see the input/output range and
setting display for the modem.
4. Use the displayed information to configure your DOS application.
Note: Because some DOS applications do not support the higher
addresses that Windows 95/98 supports, you may need to “move”
the modem to a different address. Refer to “Changing the COM Port
(Windows 95/98)” to change the address of the modem.
