Setting Up in Windows 3.1 or 3.11
Your computer communicates through devices called ports. These are a
combination of physical connections and logical “addresses” that your
computer assigns to the ports. In addition, your computer uses
“interrupt requests,” or IRQs, to keep port assignments from conflicting
with each other. Once your TA/V.34 or TA has been installed, it must
be assigned to a port.
Under Windows 95, port assignments and IRQs are usually taken care
of automatically by the Plug and Play feature. Under Windows 3.1 and
3.11, you must run a special batch file that will help your computer find
an available port.
