3.To run Point Enabler, enter the following at the DOS prompt: pmxfm c=x i=y

and then press the Enter key on the keyboard. In the entry above, x specifies the COM port number (1-4) and y specifies the Interrupt (IRQ) used (1-15). Using 3 for the COM port and 9 for the IRQ works in most computers.

4.Once the driver software is loaded and working correctly, add the entry to your autoexec.bat file to run Point Enabler every time the computer is turned on. Example:

pmxfm c=3 i=9

5.The config.sys file may need to be modified to exclude an address range when using Point Enabler. The two examples below show the most effective ranges and work with the majority of computers. Example A shows the most common exclusion range. Example B is an alternative if Example A does not work. Add a line to your config.sys file, as follows:

Example A:

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=d000-dfff

Example B:

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe noems x=c800-c8ff x=d000-dfff

Note: Point Enabler is used for computers without Card and Socket Services software only. Also, Point Enabler

operates in the DOS and Windows 3.1x environment exclusively. Do not use Point Enabler with a Cardbus-capable notebook computer or a computer running the Windows 95 (or newer) operating system.

The computer is configured to use the Modem. Next, go to chapter 3, “Installing the Modem,” to continue installing and configuring the Modem.
