Fax/Modem Problems

If you are having trouble using your fax or modem software,
see their respective software manuals for information.

Also check the memory address (COM port) setting in the

Fax/Modem option in Setup. It should match the setting in

your fax and modem software programs. In addition, make

sure you are using the correct baud rate for the transmission

you are attempting.

If you are using a PC card fax/ modem, see Chapter 2 for
configuration instructions.

PC Card Problems

If you are having trouble with a PC card inserted in your PC
card slot, check the following:

1.

Did you insert the card properly? Press the release button to
remove the card; then try inserting it again. See Chapter 4
for installation instructions.

2.

Have you loaded the right PCMCIA drivers and utilities?
Your computer is set up to work with most PCMCIA cards,
but some cards require that you install special drivers or
software. For example, a LAN card may require you to
install a socket services enabler—either as a device driver
or command that is executed when you load the network.

See the documentation that came with the card for details.

The ActionNote comes with PCMCIA drivers and utilities
(for MS-DOS and Windows) that you can use with your
card. For details, see Chapter 2.
