Configuring Modems

After installing the hardware and driver for Windows NT, you can use this
discussion to configure modem COM ports.

The Comtrol device can support any asynchronous serial modem for use by any
application that uses TAPI. For information regarding port pinouts and signals,
see the User Guide for the device (

Locating Hardware Installation Documentation

on Page 6).

Working with NT
RAS

Comtrol products are frequently used to provide Dial-Up Networking access with
NT RAS (Remote Access Service).

If RAS is not installed, note that you must install at least one RAS-capable
device (for example, modem) before installing and configuring RAS.

If RAS is installed, note that the modem installation process automatically
launches RAS Setup after modem installation is complete.

are using another brand of modem, note that some prompts and window
descriptions may differ from those shown.
