Comtrol RocketPort Windows 98 - Manual (Page 35)

Troubleshooting 35
Windows 95/98
Programming Information
Microsoft provides technical support for communication calls, which
the RocketPort or RocketModem series supports. This means most
applications for the Windows 95/98 operating system (or other 32 bit
programs) operate on RocketPort or RocketModem ports without
modification.
To assist you, Comtrol has created sample code (PROG32.ZIP), which is
available on the WEB and FTP sites. For further examples, you can
look at Microsoft Windows 95/98 Software Development Kit (SDK)
Programming Reference books.
