13. ISDN CAPI Port Device Driver 183

If only one ISDN B channel can be connected, for instance, if your Internet

provider does not support multi-link PPP connections, no unambiguous message

to this effect is returned. To find out whether both B channels were connected,

double-click the Dial-Up Networking icon in the Windows 95/98 task bar. If

desired, select the Details button to connect or disconnect the second B channel

manually.

This technique allows you to increase the transmission capacity to download

large files from the Internet and to reduce it again afterwards to avoid excessive

charges.

Some Internet browsers offer you the option of clearing a connection

automatically when the connection is idle for a certain amount of time.

To activate this option in the MS Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x, click through the steps

below:

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Internet -> Connections -> Select modem...

-> Settings... -> Advanced... -> Disconnect if idle for ... minutes

Using MS Money 99 and MS Exchange/Outlook

MS Money 99 allows the CAPI 2.0 interface to be used directly, so that the virtual

modem of the CAPI Port device driver is no longer necessary. For more

information, see the MS Money 99 documentation.

With the virtual modem ISDN FAX (G3), the fax function of MS

Exchange/Outlook and other Fax Group 3 applications can be used. Fax polling

is not supported.

Note: To use this modem a CAPI device driver software supporting T.30 (Fax

Group 3) is required.

The hardware requirements for Fax G3 are higher than for other CAPI

applications, as the analog/digital conversion is performed by the computer's

CPU. A Pentium computer with 133 MHz and at least 32 MB RAM will provide

optimal performance.

The maximum fax speed depends on the CAPI device driver software, the fax

machine/software on the other side, the line quality and the hardware standard

of your computer. The CAPI Port Device Driver supports a speed of up to 14,400

Bit/s for receiving and sending faxes.

MS Exchange/Outlook: When you install MS Exchange/Outlook, specify the

modem ISDN FAX (G3). No additional settings are required (modem’s default
