Client Configuration: The EMP will support all COM ports on the client system,
along with any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
Server Configuration: The EMP requires the server's COM 2 port to be connected to
an external modem or directly connected to a serial cable.
Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. Connect one end
of the cable into the COM 2 port of server and the other into a port on the client
machine.
Modem Configuration: On the client, the EMP uses the Windows Application
Program Interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The EMP
does not configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through Windows.
For modem support, the server must use a Hayes compatible 14400 bps modem. The
modem must be on the NT Hardware Compatibility List provided by Microsoft. The
server modem must be set in auto-answer mode for the EMP to be able to connect to it.
