28 Hayes Modem Installation Guide
Using F4 or F8 to Open DOS
When you installed Windows 95/98 initially on your machine, if you
chose to keep your old DOS version, you can press F4 when your
computer is loading Windows 95/98 to stop and return to DOS.
Otherwise, you can press F8 when the “Loading Windows 95/98”
window appears.
1. At the DOS C:\ prompt, get the A:\ prompt (or B is you are using
the B drive.) Insert the Driver and Utilities diskette or CD and type
INSTALL. This loads the SETCOM16 program.
2. The SETCOM16 program will suggest an address for the modem.
Use the tab to select OK or select Manual to change the address.
3. SETCOM16 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.
