Installing Your V.90 Modems

After the software drivers are installed, you will  need to install your V.90 modems. The installation
procedures are identical for Windows 95 and Windows 98. The procedure for  Windows NT is more
involved and differences will be noted below.  The procedures for installing your V.90 modems in
Windows 2000 are sufficiently different to require a separate installation section.

CAUTION: For space considerations, the graphics displayed below are Windows NT 4.0 dialog boxes.
Any major differences with Windows 95/98 dialog boxes will be noted.

1.

Click Start | Settings | Control Panel | Modems.

2.

The Modems Properties dialog box is displayed.

Note: Windows 95/98 provides a Diagnostics tab option.

From the General tab, click the Add button.
