Modem Notice
When you add, edit or delete modems in the modem database using Setup/Communications
Parameters, the modem information is stored in a file called GBModem.ini. This file is
located in the Program Files\Common Files\Gasboy directory on your PC. If, at any time,
you choose to uninstall the PC/1000 software, the GBModem.ini file will be removed and any
changes that have been made to the modem information will be lost. Before uninstalling
PC/1000, ensure that you save a copy of GBModem.ini, if you want to save your changes.
In version 1.1.0.8, three new Zoom modem configurations were added to PC/1000. If you
uninstalled a prior version of PC/1000, saved the GBModem.ini file, and have installed
version 1.1.0.8, you have the following choices:
• If you did not make any changes to the modems in your previous package, simply install
the new software and the new gbmodem.ini file will be installed.
• If you made changes to the modems and saved a copy of GBModem.ini before
uninstalling and you are not using one of the new Zoom modems, install the software, then
copy the file that you saved into the Program Files\Common Files\Gasboy directory.
This file will replace the new file that was installed with version 1.1.0.8.
• If you made changes to the modems and saved a copy of GBModem.ini before
uninstalling and you also want to use one of the new Zoom modems, install the new
version, then use an editor to open the saved GBModem.ini file and the GBModem.ini
file in Program Files\Common Files\Gasboy directory. Cut and paste content to add any
changes from the saved GBModem.ini file into the GBModem.ini file in the Program
Files\Common Files\Gasboy directory.
If you are using the patch to update your software to version 1.1.0.8, follow the patch
instructions given in “C36104 PC/1000 Version 1.1.0.8 Patch” for details on the
GBModem.ini file.
