Setup Procedure
If you choose not to reboot after installing the network interface, you must install

When configuration is complete, Windows 95 displays the card name,
3Com 10-100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card (Modem interface)
.

Click

to quit the installation program.
The installation program installs a
3Com Modem Setting
application in the Control
Panel. Use
Modem Setting
to change COM port assignments for the modem. The
default is COM5. Change the COM port to a lower number if you are using older
software that does not recognize COM ports higher than 4.
NOTE:
If you remove the LAN+Modem card and reinstall it in another slot, the
first time Windows 95 rediscovers it in the new location it will start another
installation. If the double installation causes problems, uninstall one of the
occurrences of the card. See “Uninstalling the Card” on page 11.
