Section Four: Internal Modem: Advanced
Configuration for Windows 95
The Internal Boca Modem you have just purchased is an 8-
bit modem that can use IRQs 3, 4, 5, or 7. If you are
reading this section, it is probably because Windows 95
has already assigned all of the above-mentioned IRQs to
other devices in your system.
In order for you to complete installation of the modem,
you must first make one of the IRQs in the group 3, 4, 5,
and 7 available.
If you have an I/O card that may be using one of these
resources for an extra Printer Port, for example, you can
disable the extra printer port on the I/O card and make
that IRQ available for your new Home Office Modem.
Another option would be to change the IRQ setting on
any 16-bit device (e.g., sound card) you may be using.
These 16-bit devices may be using your system’s lower
IRQs, but are capable of addressing higher IRQs such as
IRQ9, 10, 11. For instructions on how to accomplish this,
please refer to the manual that came with your peripheral,
or call the technical support number for that product.
Explain that you are trying to change the IRQ setting on
your device in order to free up a resource for a modem.
