Temporarily disable IRC

If IRC is enabled, temporarily disable IRC using the Compaq System Configuration Utility. This prevents incorrect settings from interfering with RAS.

Turn on Modem Log File

1.From the Windows Control Panel, double-click on Modems.

2.From the Modem Properties dialog box, select the modem that you want to share with IRC and click Properties.

3.Click the Connection tab control. Click Advanced to display the Advanced Connection Settings dialog box.

4.Check the Record a log file option in the Advanced Connection Settings dialog box.

5.Click OK to dismiss the Advanced Connection Settings and Modem Properties dialog boxes.

6.Click Close to finish modem configuration.

7.Shutdown and Restart Windows NT to allow this new configuration setting to take effect.

View Modem Log File

After restarting Windows NT, a log file is recorded containing all activity to the modem. When the RAS service starts, the modem initialization commands are recorded in this log file.

1.From Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where Windows NT is installed.

2.Locate the modem log file. This file is named ModemLog_<name of modem>. One way to quickly locate this file is by clicking the Modified column tab to sort the directory entries by their modified timestamp. The modem log should be one of the most recently modified entries.

3.Double-click the log file to view the contents in Windows notepad.
