STEP 2: Run the Modem’s Installation Program
Sportster Winmodem 33600 & x2/56K comes with an installation diskette that contains an installation program that will help your computer finish installing the modem. This program will also copy modem programs from the diskette onto your computer’s
hard drive.
The installation program runs a little differently for Windows 95 than it does for Windows 3.1 and 3.11. In this section, follow the steps for the Windows operating system you have. Skip the other set of Windows instructions.
