Fax/Modem Enabler
MDMEN.EXE is the DOS enabler for the PCMCIA Fax/Modem.
For the system without any Card Services, you can use the enabler
in the bundled INF file disk to enable the Fax/Modem.
The enabler can be installed as DOS command or DOS driver. It
means that you can load the enabler from the DOS prompt or put it
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS to load the driver every
time you start your computer.
MDMEN /COM=m /IRQ=nn /SLT=n
COM=m Specify the COM port value (m=1 - 4). Default is 2.
IRQ=nn Specify the interrupt request number in decimal.
Default: value 4 for COM1 and COM3, value 3 for
COM2 and COM4.
SLT=n
Specify the slot number the Fax/Modem card
plugged.
Default: auto-detection.
Example: MODEMEN /COM=2 /IRQ=5 /SLT=1
