Installation Instructions for Windows 95 and the OnLine Express Modem
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This Windows 95 Driver Release for the On-Line Express Modem 
(M144AI) contains the following files:

    attcom.inf
    attcom.vxd
    attmodem.inf
    attmodem.vxd
    attwave.drv
    readme.txt

1. If you are have received these files from our BBS  System 
or  ftp site, then you probably have unzipped the files to a 
temporary directory. If you have received these files  on  a 
floppy  disk,  then  there is no need to copy the files to a 
temporary subdirectory.

2. In Control Panel -> Add New  Hardware  click  Next,  then 
click  No  when asked whether you want Windows to search for 
your new hardware. Scroll to Ports  and  click  Next  again.  
Click  Have Disk..., then specify the path to where you have 
copied the  On-Line  Express  Files,  or  the  floppy  drive 
containing the files. It should say Communications Port now.  
Click Next again.


Note: the Term 'Interrupt Request' and IRQ both refer to the 
same thing.


3.Windows now assigns an I/O range and IRQ for the hardware.  
Note  the  settings it selected, and decide whether you want 
to use these, or some other setting.  Set the jumpers on the 
board to match the I/O and IRQ you want. There will be 2 I/O 
Ranges and 2 IRQ settings listed. One I/O Range is  for  the 
jumper  setting,  the other I/O Range designates the modem's 
COM port according to the chart below. Also, one IRQ setting 
is for the jumpers, while the other is for the COM port IRQ. 
Use the chart below to determine the I/O Range and IRQ  will 
be  used  for  the COM port and set the jumpers according to 
the OTHER I/O Range and IRQ.


  Ŀ
   I/O Range      COM Port      IRQ  
  Ĵ
   3F8...         1             4    
                                     
   2F8...         2             3    
                                     
   3E8...         3             4    
                                     
   2E8...         4             3    
                                     
  


4. After taking note of the settings, click  on  the  'next' 
button.  The  system  now  copies  the *.vxd and attwave.drv 
files into the  \windows\system  directory.   Click  on  the 
'Finish' button.

5.  If  you're  happy  with  the  I/O  and IRQ chosen by the 
Windows installer, click Yes now to shut down the  computer.  
Otherwise, click No and do the next step.

6.   In  Control  Panel  ->  System -> Device Manager select 
Ports, then the COM port that was just installed in step  3. 
The  Manufacturer  setting  should  display  "Boca  Research 
M144AI  Modem Port". If not, you have selected the wrong COM 
port in the device manager. Click Properties, and select the 
Resources  tab.   Click  either  "Input/Output   Range"   or 
"Interrupt  Request,"  then  Change Setting...  until you're 
happy with  the  selection.   Note  carefully  any  resource 
conflicts in the lower box, and choose a different setting.

Important:  If  you  change  the  I/O Range used for the COM 
port, you must also change the IRQ for the COM port so  that 
the  IRQ matches the I/O Range as designated in the chart in 
step 3.


Click OK, then OK again to make your selections stick,  then 
finally  select  'Start  -> Shutdown... -> Yes' to shut down 
the computer.

7.  Power off the PC, set the jumpers to match the  I/O  and 
IRQ  settings  selected, plug in the modem, then turn the PC 
on again.

8.  After rebooting  with  new  hardware  installed,  go  to 
Control  Panel  -> Modems.  Click the box for "Don't run the 
Hardware Installation Wizard." On the next screen, click  on 
the  "Don't Detect My Modem, I will Select from a list", and 
click 'next'. Select the  'Have  Disk'  button  and  finally 
'Next'  to  select  the 'Boca Research M144AI' modem. On the 
next screen, select the newly installed COM  port  that  was 
installed in step 3.

9.  The  modem  should now be ready for use. If there is any 
trouble, the Modem icon  in  the  Control  Panel  is  always 
available.  See  the Windows 95 documentation on configuring 
Modems in Windows 95.
