Before You Begin

For Windows 95/98 Installation

If you are replacing an existing modem in your computer system with this modem,
be sure to remove all other modem drivers. On the desktop, right-click the My Com-
puter
icon and choose Properties. Select the Device Manager tab. Double-click the
Modems icon in the list of device groups to show the modems installed. Highlight
each modem listed by clicking once on the icon next to the modem and then click the
Remove button. It is also a good idea to physically remove your old modem from the
system. Once you remove the old modem and its drivers from your system, you will need
the old modem driver diskette if you wish to reinstall it at a later date
.

If you are going to use the Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) functions of the
modem, you need to install the Unimodem V components of Windows 95. If you
have Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (Version 4.00.950 B or above) you do not
need to install this component as it is already built into this version of Windows.

To find what version of Windows 95 you are running, right-click on the My Com-
puter
icon and choose Properties. Select the General tab. If the version of Windows
95 is 4.00.950 or 4.00.950A, on the taskbar, click Start, click Programs, then select
Windows Explorer. Go to the UNIMODEM directory of the modem’s installation
CD-ROM (the UNIMODEM driver is sometimes supplied on a separate floppy)
