- The following instructions describe how to install and configure the
- Megahertz PCMCIA modem under OS/2 2.1. These instructions are written
- to utilize the DOS based point enabler that ships with this modem.
- (Filename: SETMHZ.EXE)
-
- If at all possible, the best way (and the recommended way) to use the
- Megahertz modem is to use their OS/2 client device drivers. These
- instructions on how to install the DOS based point enablers are provided
- by us for those instances where the client device drivers are not
- available. To receive a copy of the Megahertz OS/2 client device
- drivers for their PCMCIA modem, call Megahertz. Megahertz's toll free
- number is (800) 527-8677.
-
- If you are using this modem in a non-IBM machine, then you may not have
- the necessary socket services. You should contact the vendor of your
- computer to see if socket services are available. If no socket services
- are available, you should try to install the point enabler (see following).

-
- The Megahertz XJACK PCMCIA Data/FAX modem has been tested under OS/2 and will
- work under the limitations listed in the previous section. This procedure is
- designed to use the MEGAHERTZ DOS Point Enabler named SETMHZ.EXE. Megahertz
- is currently developing an OS/2 Client Device driver for their modem. Below
- are the necessary steps required to configure the Megahertz XJACK PCMCIA
- Data/FAX modem:
-
- 1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS and add the following parameters to the COM.SYS device
- driver:
-
- ..\COM.SYS (2,2f8,3)
-
- 2. You will need to create an input file for the DEBUG utility. You should
- create this file in the same directory as the SETMHZ.EXE program. This input
- file will be used to zero out the BIOS information at the 40:0 location. See
- the following section for an example of the DEBUG.INP file.
-
- 3. You will need to create a DOS Batch (*.BAT) file named SETUPMOD.BAT with
- the following lines in it:
-
- DEBUG < DEBUG.INP
- SETMHZ
-
- Note: This file must be in the same directory as the DEBUG.INP and SETMHZ.EXE
- files.
-
- 4. After creating the SETUPMOD.BAT file, you should execute it to make sure
- that you get no errors.
-
- 5. You then should create an ICON to point to the SETUPMOD.BAT file. You
- should set the WORKING DIRECTORY to the directory where the SETUPMOD.BAT,
- DEBUG.INP and SETMHZ.EXE files reside. This ICON (or DOS Program Object)
- should be placed in your Startup Folder so that the modem is initialized each
- time you boot OS/2 2.1.
-
- The DEBUG.INP is an input file for the OS/2 - DOS DEBUG utility. This file
- contains the keystrokes necessary to place zeros in the ROM BIOS location for
- COM2. This is required for the DOS Point Enabler of the Megahertz and other
- similar PCMCIA Data/FAX modems. You need to create this file for the steps
- listed in the previous section. The DEBUG.INP file must be created EXACTLY as
- shown below:
-
- -e 40:2 00
- -e 40:3 00
- -q
-
-
- Note: There should be one blank line following the 'q'. The very first line
- must be the "e 40:2" line.
