- I had just posted asking for jumper settings for a 24/96 GFC FAXMODEM.
- Here is my contribution to society.

- "How i installed a Supra 28.8 PNP, when it wouldn't PNP."
-
- preface:
- 1.the modem did work in a previous version of Win95 4.0.950
- 2.the modem does work with DOS drivers in DOS/Command Prompt mode.
- 3.the modem does not PNP itself when Nashville 4.10.999 is booted.
-
- procedure:
- 1.remove any old traces of the Supra28.8 from previous attempts from
- installing it.
- 1.1.remove the extra com port that it occupied, if any. this
- is done from [Start] [Settings] [Control Panel] [System] [Device
- Manager] [Ports (COM & LPT)] [Communications Port (COMn)] [Remove]
- 1.2.do the same from [Start] [Settings] [Control Panel]
- [System] [Device Manager] [Modems] [...]
- 1.3.if required, there might also be a [[?]Other Devices] group.
- remove any traces of the modem from there too.
- 2.go into the [System Devices], expand the tree.
- 3.go into the [IO read data port for ISA Plug and Play enumerator]. do
- this by highlighting it, and [Properties]
- 4.from here, go into [Resources]
- 5.Unable the checkmark in "Use automatic settings"
- 6.Enable the checkmark in "Use automatic settings"
- 8.At this point, the 'PnP' port has been 'reset' and will search and
- find your Supra28.8 modem. the modem will automatically build itself
- without the requirement of the supplied Win95 drivers from the Supra
- disk.
- 9.exit accordingly by [OK] buttons, and restart if necessary.
-
- Hints:
- 1.it is wise beforehand to check which com port and address your
- Supra28.8 occupies from MSD executed from the Command Prompt/DOS boot
- sequence. This can be done by hitting [F8] after your pc beeps, and you
- can select optioin 6 for a Command Prompt Only boot.
- 2.DOS drivers for this modem do not conflict with the Win95 at all,
- meaning, if you have the Supra28.8 successfully installed for DOS
- applications, don't delete it thinking you will benefit from starting
- from scratch.
