Step 2: Install the Modem Driver

If you use Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP; you must install the modem driver. The drivers are installed easily since Windows supports Plug-and-Play.

1.Make sure your modem is connected properly, and then turn on your computer. Windows should detect your new modem and open the Install New Modem wizard.

Note: If Windows cannot find a modem, your modem may be turned off, it may be plugged into the wrong connector on your computer, or the serial cable may be faulty. See “None of the LEDs Light When the Modem Is Turned On” and “The Modem Does Not Respond to Commands” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

2.Insert the MultiModemII system CD into your CD-ROM drive, and then click OK.

3.Windows installs and configures the modem.

1.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Modems icon to open the Modems Properties dialog box.

3.In the list box, select the old modem.
