5Click Finish to quit the installation program.

The installation program installs a 3Com Modem Setting application in the Control Panel. Use Modem Setting to change COM port assignments for the modem. The default is COM5. Change the COM port to a lower number if you are using older software that does not recognize COM ports higher than 4.

NOTE: If you remove the LAN+Modem card and reinstall it in another slot, the first time Windows 95 rediscovers it in the new location it will start another installation. If the double installation causes problems, uninstall one of the occurrences of the card. See “Uninstalling the Card” on page 11.
