Fax/Modem Support under Windows

This section documents two aspects of using a fax/modem under

Window 3.1: using the CARDTALK.386 driver and setting the COM

port.

CARDTALK.386

The CARDTALK.386 file provides software communications support

for 386 Enhanced Mode. Windows automatically loads this file when

Windows starts. CARDTALK.386 must reside in the same directory as

CARDTALK.SYS.

Setting the COM Port

Follow these steps to set the COM port in Windows:

1. Double-click on the Windows Control Panel (located in the Main

Program Group).

2. Double-click on the Ports icon.

3. Click on the COM port icon you wish to use.

4. Click on the Settings... button to change communications

parameters.

5. Click on the Advanced button.

6. Set the address and IRQ.

When setting the COM port in Windows, make sure you choose the

same COM port you chose when you installed CardTalk. Refer to your

Windows documentation for what the settings mean and how to use the

Advanced... button.

To change the COM port you must modify the CARDTALK.SYS line

in your CONFIG.SYS file as well as change the COM port in the

Windows Control Panel.

When to Insert the Fax/Modem

You can insert the fax/modem when you start the computer, before you

load your communications program or when the system is ready to

transmit. If you load your communications software and attempt to

initialize the fax/modem without the fax/modem in the slot,
