- You should be using more appropriate INF file, other than the standard
- revision from Win95 because, as you point out, some of your functionality
- is simply
- - either not taken advantage of (lack of AT commands)
- - mismanaged/screwed up (different AT commands)
-
- your modem must be similar to other modems using the same chip set. If ADI
- makes it from square 1, it is likely they also support the INF file for
- Win95. Try to log to their BBS, WWW etc.
-
- you can go to the INF file for modems and edit the init string section to
- fit your needs.
- go to c:\windows\inf\mdmgen.inf and modify the AT strings in [GenericAddReg]
- section. make sure you back up the file before modifications.
