If IRC is enabled, temporarily disable IRC using the Compaq System

2. From the Modem Properties dialog box, select the modem that you want

to share with IRC and click Properties.

3. Click

the

Connection tab control. Click Advanced to display the

Advanced Connection Settings dialog box.

4. Check the Record a log file option in the Advanced Connection Settings

dialog box.

5. Click

OK to dismiss the Advanced Connection Settings and Modem

Properties dialog boxes.

6. Click

Close to finish modem configuration.

7. Shutdown and Restart Windows NT to allow this new configuration

setting to take effect.

View Modem Log File

After restarting Windows NT, a log file is recorded containing all activity to the
modem. When the RAS service starts, the modem initialization commands are
recorded in this log file.

1. From Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where Windows NT

is installed.

2. Locate the modem log file. This file is named ModemLog_

modem>. One way to quickly locate this file is by clicking the Modified
column tab to sort the directory entries by their modified timestamp. The
modem log should be one of the most recently modified entries.

3. Double-click the log file to view the contents in Windows notepad.
