8. PC Modem Support
8.1 DOS
The MCNRCD.exe Remote Comparator Display program runs on laptop and
desktop PCs under DOS with external modems. It will also support some internal
modems that are real modems (not WIN Modems).
8.2 Windows 95 & 98
The MCNRCD.exe Remote Comparator Display program runs on laptop and
desktop PCs using Windows 95 & 98 with external modems only. In Windows
95 & 98, Microsoft restricted DOS driver access to some of the resources like
internal modems.
8.3 Windows NT, 2000, & XP
Microsoft changed things back in Windows NT, 2000 & XP. MCNRCD.EXE
supports dial-up operation on these platforms with external or some internal
modems.
Please note that some modems may not operate properly with MCNRCD.EXE.
Some modems may require updated drivers. See the file:
"MCNRCD Modem Compatability.DOC"
on the distribution disk for the current list of modems that have been tested.
Since we cannot possibly test all combinations of PCs, Modems and operating
systems, we appreciate your feedback. Please advise us of your results using
various modems, PCs, and operating systems. We will use your feedback to
update this list periodically to help all our customers.
9. FixMouse for Windows 2000
Microsoft changed the way that that the mouse is handled in DOS windows in
Windows 2000. By default, the "Quick Edit" "Feature" is turned on. This causes
a problem with MCNRCD.EXE. Apparently, Microsoft has seen the error of their
ways and has turned Quick Edit off in Windows XP.
FixMouse.EXE has is included in the MCNRCD distribution disks to fix this
problem. Simply copy this program to the CTI directory and run FixMouse. This
will turn off the Quick Edit. Since Windows 2000 enables or disables Quick Edit
on a per-user basis, FixMouse must be run for each user.
