Client Configuration: The EMP will support all COM ports on the client system, along with any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
Server Configuration: The EMP requires the server's COM 2 port to be connected to an external modem or directly connected to a serial cable.
Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. Connect one end of the cable into the COM 2 port of server and the other into a port on the client machine.
Modem Configuration: On the client, the EMP uses the Windows Application Program Interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The EMP does not configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through Windows.
For modem support, the server must use a Hayes compatible 14400 bps modem. The modem must be on the NT Hardware Compatibility List provided by Microsoft. The server modem must be set in
