56K External Modem

QUICK START

This Quick Start describes external modem installation for
personal computers using Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP,
and NT 4.0. Your modem also works with almost any
computer or terminal with a serial (RS-232) port, including
most Windows 3.x, Macintosh, and Linux computers. You
should consult your full-length manual if you have one of
these other systems. The manual is located on the CD.

Please make sure you have the following items: modem,
telephone cord, power supply, and installation and
communications software on diskette(s) or CD-ROM. In some
countries, you may also need a country-specific telephone
adapter to attach your modem to the telephone wall jack.
Depending on your modem model, your package may or may not
include a faxmodem-to-computer serial cable. If it doesn’t, make
sure that you have a serial cable that mates with the connector
on your particular computer.

Important – If your computer already has an

internal PCI modem installed

You should remove the modem and its drivers now. Your old
modem may interfere with the installation of your new modem.
Please refer to page 5 now.
