Installing EXP's Device Driver on an unlisted Host PC

If the make and/or model of your computer is not listed in the list of the
Host PC field, EXP also provides you with a GENERIC device driver:

INTEL 82365SL PC Card Interface

The device driver is used on a trial and error basis.
For computers that only come with one PCMCIA slot, choose slot 1.
Otherwise, select the slot that you installed your ThinFax Modem

COM Port Configuration

Your ThinFax Modem can be configured to be COM1, COM2, COM3, or
COM4. Some notebook computers may reserve a COM Port address for
serial devices, e.g., Trackball, and on-board COM Port. Unless the COM
port address is already occupied, we recommend you always configure
your ThinFax Card to either COM2 or COM4. This will reduce the
chance of IRQ(Interrupt Request) conflicting with other devices. In some
cases you may need to disable one of the existing COM Ports and then
configure the ThinFax to use that COM Port.

(Check the system configuration program or your computer User's manual
for details on how to disable a COM Port)

NOTE

For Windows User, The COM Ports I/O Address and IRQ of your choice should be set to the
actual address; NOT the 'Default'.
