- DESCRIPTION:
- FaxMail includes a choice of four different installations which support
- Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Windows
- NT. Supports most Fax/Modems, Group 3 CLASS 1, CLASS 2 and CLASS 2.0.
- FaxMail for Windows will add a <Fax> button to your Windows Programs,
- giving you access to all the Fax /Modems and Fax/Machines in the world,
- making them become your printers. FaxMail attaching itself to and becomes
- a part of the actual Microsoft Windows environment, whereby it appends
- itself to all system menus thereby adding its features to all Windows
- Applications. FaxMail has hundreds of useful features such as Dynamic
- View/Edit Cover Page, FaxBook Import, Windows Dynamic All Class Fax/Modem
- Driver, and Technical Support. You can import up to 1000 name and phone
- numbers into each FaxBook (Phone Book) at a time from any xBase data base
- program, and you can have as many FaxBooks as you want. FaxMail gives you
- laser quality fax output, making it a great tool to send an occasional fax
- or large numbers of high quality faxes from the background while you work
- on other tasks. FaxMail bundles the most useful fax features, and it is
- fast! The simplicity of information transfer via FaxMail for Windows is
- unequaled. It is a faxmail management system, integrating Fax/Modem
- technologies into computer document generation. You can create very short
- and/or long fax.

-
- NOTE:
- If you choose to use the "FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class
- Fax/Modem-Driver", a lot of this README will not pertain to you, and
- nothing will be put in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- BEFORE ALL ELSE:
- Because of size constraints we are forced to leave some of the glitter
- out of this shareware versions, but it is still VERY MUCH a FULL
- working fax program with feature not seen anywhere else. We left off
- things like decorative bitmaps, several of the sample cover page logo
- files, FaxBook imports and a few other things that will not impede your
- use of FaxMail. All of the above mentioned and more will be in your
- registered version.
-
- We are working full time on improving and upgrading FaxMail for Windows
- based upon the feedback from you and other users. So...before you
- install, look at the date on this file. If the date is more than a week
- old, you may want to get the latest version.
-
- You can get FaxMail for Windows from many BBSs and FTP Internet Sites
- around the world. fax_v501.zip, where fax_v501 means version v5.01.

- If you have a problem that is not covered here, contact ElectraSoft at

- problem, or a newer version of FaxMail for Windows does not have the
- problem.
-
- LEGAL INFORMATION:
- If you have a registered version of FaxMail for Windows you may *NOT*
- share the registered version with others.
-
- FaxMail for Windows is shareware. This means you have a chance to test
- the the performance of FaxMail for Windows before committing yourself to
- buying it. FaxMail for Windows is a Shareware product and we would like
- you to REGISTER after testing this "evaluation copy".
-
- Only the unregistered version of FaxMail for Windows may be distributed
- freely, and no fee may be charged for it except a nominal copying fee.
- All trademarks contained herein are registered to their respective
- owners.
-
- IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- While converting printer output to a fax, FaxMail will need to create and
- use a temporary file called "TOFAX" and then delete it when finished.
- This file will be in the root of the drive FaxMail is installed on.
-
- So that FaxMail for Windows <CONVERT TO FAX> will be able to convert
- printable files to faxes, you may want to check the following three
- things on the drive that you installed FaxMail on:
-
- 1. If you have the maximum allowed files in that root directory, remove
- some.
-
- 2. If you have a directory called TOFAX on that drive, remove it.
-
- 3. If that drive is full, make some room. The fax converter needs
- about 200k per page. Keep in mind that Windows itself may need
- 5meg+- free on the hard drive.
-
- If you are currently using another Modem-Program, remember that they
- can not run concurrently on the same COM-Port. Disabling a fax program
- may be as easy as not loading it or you may have to remove one or more
- lines from your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI.
- Typing rem ahead of a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS will
- disable it. Example:
-
- change:
- C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLFAXPRG.EXE
- to:
- rem C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLFAXPRG.EXE
-
- To disable a line in an *.INI (WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI) file, place a ;
- before the line to be commented-out. Example:
-
- change:
- C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLD_FAX_PRG.EXE
- to:
- ;C:\OLD_FAX_DIR\OLD_FAX_PRG.EXE
-
- If your old Fax-Program loads from the Windows-StartUp-Group as you
- enter Windows, you will have to move it's ICON out of your
- Windows-StartUp-Group by grabbing it and dropping it in another Group.
-
- If you load the wrong Fax/Modem-Driver the worst that can be expected
- to happen is that the Fax/Modem-Driver might not load or the program
- might hang or fail to operate, and perhaps your modem might be left in
- Fax mode and require manual resetting(turn it off and back on). Since
- information about models that don't work with this program will aid in
- correcting unsuspected problems, we would appreciate any information
- you can give us about them. Write to the registration address, or send
- e-mail via Internet to:

- to all warning message.
-
- See "RESOLVING CONFLICTS" and "FAX/MODEM INSTALLATION" in this file.
-
- FAX/MODEM INSTALLATION:
- Note:
- 1. To stay safe when removing/replacing hardware, always turn your
- computer off and unplug it.
- 2. To reduce the possibility of damaging electronic components in your
- computer with "static potentials" when removing/replacing hardware,
- place one hand on the metal chassis before removing/replacing
- hardware.
-
- Read "USING COMTEST.COM" first...
-
- (IMPORTANT: Read but don't do this unless you are installing or
- reinstalling a Fax/Modem)
-
- Definitions:
- COM, Communications-Port (1 - 4).
- IRQ, Interrupt-ReQuest (0 - 15).
- External Fax/Modem, is placed *ON* a COM-Port (UART).
- Internal Fax/Modem, *REPLACES* a COM-Port (UART).
-
- A majority of the people I give tech-support to have a hardware
- conflict due to improper Internal Fax/Modem installation!
-
- Notes:
- 1. An External Modem is plugged into an existing COM-Port (UART)!
- 2. An Internal Modem is a UART and REPLACES an existing COM-Port (UART)!
-
- If you are having problems with a Modem, read the above lines until you
- comprehend and understand them.
-
- Installing an External Fax/Modem:
- Plug one end of the COM cable into your Fax/Modem and the other end
- into a vacant COM-Port. You will have to know what COM-Port and what
- IRQ you plugged into so you can let the software know during software
- installation.
-
- Installing an Internal Fax/Modem:
- When installing an Internal Fax/Modem, be sure you disable the
- COM-Port (located on your IO-Board) you are going to replace. Then;
- before installing the Internal Fax/Modem, test, with the opening screen
- of COMTEST.COM (comes with FaxMail for Windows and *MUST* be run from
- DOS. It will *NOT* work while in Windows.), to be sure the COM-Port
- really is disabled, and then, AND ONLY THEN, are you ready to install
- the "Internal Fax/Modem". Not doing this properly is the overwhelming
- major reason for Modem and other computer problems that to the average
- person seem to have no relationship to their modem, but it does! If
- you are installing on COM2-IRQ3, the COMTEST.COM opening screen should
- look like this BEFORE you install the Fax/Modem.
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
- COM2-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
- COM3-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
- COM4-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- Then you are ready to set the jumpers on your Internal Fax/Modem to
- COM2-IRQ3 and insert it into a vacant slot; thus replacing the COM2 UART.
-
- You can use DEBUG.EXE to help install Modems, but it is not as actuate
- as COMTEST.COM (see Note 5).
-
- If you are reinstalling a Fax/Modem on a different COM-IRQ, keep in
- mind that you may have to reinstall or run setup on all the software
- that is presently using the Fax/Modem.
-
- If COM1-IRQ4 and COM2-IRQ3 are in use, I would suggest one of the
- following configurations:
- COM3-IRQ5,
- COM3-IRQ7,
- or
- COM3-IRQ2
- If we would have found COM2 unused we would have configured like this:
- COM2-IRQ3
- Here is a list of suggested combinations:
- COM1-IRQ4
-
- COM2-IRQ3
-
- COM3-IRQ5
- COM3-IRQ7
- COM3-IRQ2
-
- COM4-IRQ5
- COM4-IRQ7
- COM4-IRQ2
-
- FaxMail for Windows will supports COM1 through COM4 on IRQ0 through
- IRQ15. But...Before these addresses can be used, your
- "COM-Port/Fax/Modem" must first support the configuration and second
- you must properly configure said device.
-
- Never skip a COM-Port as the system will go into "conflict-convulsion"
- from time to time. To find a vacant IRQ, run something like
- SYSONFO.EXE, etc. Here is some information on IRQs in the
- IBM-Compatible. They are: IRQ0 - IRQ15. N/A means not normally
- available for your Fax/Modem.
-
- IRQ0 {INT 08h, Reserved for 8253 Channel 0 System-Timer-Tick, N/A
- IRQ1 {INT 09h, Reserved for Key-Board Attention, N/A
- IRQ2 {INT 0Ah, Reserved for Future use, (you can use if not in use)
- IRQ3 {INT 0Bh, Reserved for COM2-IRQ3, or COM4-IRQ3 *If not used by COM2
- IRQ4 {INT 0Ch, Reserved for COM1-IRQ4, or COM3-IRQ4 *If not used by COM1
- IRQ5 {INT 0Dh, Reserved for XT-HardDrive, Can used unless you have an XT
- IRQ6 {INT 0Eh, Reserved for Disk Attention, N/A
- IRQ7 {INT 0Fh, LPT1, but usually doesn't need IRQ, usually can be used
- IRQ8 - IRQ15 {Available in AT and up, but not in XT computers)
-
- The following report was generated by Peter Norton's SYSINFO.EXE on a
- 486DX-50:

-
- Note 1:
- As you can see, if IRQ4 is used by COM1, you have to find another IRQ
- for COM3. If you have a COM1-IRQ4 and you use COM3 you will need to
- use an alternative IRQ. The same goes if you are going to use COM4 and
- you have a COM2-IRQ3.
-
- Note 2:
- It is best to use COM1-IRQ4 or COM2-IRQ3 for Fax/Modems, as they were
- originally and specifically set aside for communications. Experience
- has shown me that some Fax/Modems do not preform as well on COM3 and
- COM4 using IRQ5, IRQ7 or IRQ2.
-
- Note 3:
- By the way, the problem with this and most system tests, such
- as MSD.EXE, is that they tell you what is suppose to be or what is
- normally on an IRQ. For instances, when I ran this test, as you can
- see, it says that "LPT1" is on IRQ7. The fact is I have a Rockwell
- class 1,2 Fax/Modem on COM3-IRQ7. When I ran COMTEST.COM I got the
- following results:

- This is a high performance UART with buffering.
-
- COM3-IRQ7:

- TEST RESULTS
- Rockwell, Internal, V.32AC, V1.270, TR14-Jxxx-001 Accelerator-Kit:
- COM1-IRQ4 { Class 1 (FM_ROCK1.COM); Worked well
- { Class 2 (FM_ROCK2.COM); Worked well
- COM2-IRQ3 { Class 1 (FM_ROCK1.COM); Worked well
- { Class 2 (FM_ROCK2.COM); Worked well
- COM3-IRQ2,5,7 { Class 1 (FM_ROCK1.COM); Poor, usually failed to send
- { Class 2 (FM_ROCK2.COM); Worked
- COM4-IRQ2,5,7 { Class 1 (FM_ROCK1.COM); Poor, usually failed to send
- { Class 2 (FM_ROCK2.COM); Worked
-
- GVC, Internal, FM144/144, FM-144HVBIS with built-in FIFO:
- COM3-IRQ5 { Class 2 (FM_ROCK1.COM); Works well
-
- If your computer has a built-in COM1-IRQ4 and COM2-IRQ3, you can
- disable either COM1-IRQ4 or COM2-IRQ3 and then set your Fax/Modem to
- that COM-Port and IRQ. This is done be getting out your manuals and
- moving the jumpers or contact the company you bought your computer and
- Fax/Modem from.
-
- Note 5:
- At Segment 0040, Offset 0000 DOS keeps a table of ports starting with
- your COM-Ports. The BIOS and DOS assume that you know that you can not
- skip a COM-port or reuse an IRQ. If you do, it will raise havoc with
- your system. If you skip a COM-Port, your system will compress the
- COM-Port table thus making it useless to any program that depend on it.
- For instance, if you have a UART on:
-
- COM1, COM2, and COM4
-
- your system will report that you have a UART on:
-
- COM1, COM2, and COM3
-
- Example of how to verify this:
-
- Go to the DOS-Prompt and type:
-
- CD\ {go to the root directory
- DEBUG {or \DOS\DEBUG
- -D 0040:0000 {the - prompt will appear
- {something similar to the following will appear
- 0040:0000 F8 03 F8 02 E8 03 00 00-78 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........x....
-
- Q <Enter> {to Quit DEBUG
-
- We are only concerned with the first 8 BYTEs (4 WORDs).
- 0040:0000 F8 03 F8 02 E8 03 00 00 {as you found them
- F8 03,F8 02,E8 03,00 00 {separated
- 03F8 02F8 03E8 0000 {formated from BYTEs to WORDs
- 3F8 2F8 3E8 000 {formated to human terms
- COM1 COM2 COM3 {No COM4; or was there?
- It looks like you have a COM1, COM2 and COM3 :-)
-
- RESOLVING CONFLICTS:
- Read "USING COMTEST.COM" and "FAX/MODEM INSTALLATION" first...
-
- Example of a conflict and how to resolve it
-
- Lets assume you have a mouse on COM1-IRQ4 and a modem on COM4-IRQ3.
-
- You have a hardware conflict. You should never skip a COM-Port as the
- system will go into "conflict-convulsion".
-
- Your computer has a COM-Port table at real-mode Segment 0040h, Offset
- 0000h, 0040:0000. It assumes that you did not skip a port, and if you
- did, it will compress it down to where, in this case, your COM4 is
- entered into the COM-port table at the location reserved for COM3.
- When you go into Windows, Windows looks at the COM-Port table and
- thinks you have a COM1, COM2 and COM3. When it goes to access COM3,
- bad things happen, because it is not there.
-
- FaxModem Wizard, COMTEST.COM, is included with FaxMail for Windows. It
- will tell you what, if anything, is on each of your four COM-Ports and
- which IRQ each COM-Port is using, COM?-IRQ?. It will give you a
- written report about your Modem.
-
- Exit Windows and Run COMTEST.COM. In this example the results will
- look like this:
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM2-IRQ3:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM3-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- COM4-IRQ3:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- To Correct this conflict:
-
- Method 1
-
- 1. Turn off your computer and remove your modem.
-
- 2. Turn on your computer and run FaxModem Wizard (COMTEST.COM). The
- UART on COM4 should now be gone as shown in this example.
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM2-IRQ3:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM3-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- COM4-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- 3. Turn off your computer and disable COM2. For most computers, this
- is done by removing the I/O board and moving or removing the
- jumpers so that COM2 is disabled. The "I/O board" is the input
- output board that controls the HardDrive, COM-Ports and etc. If
- this is the case with your computer, get out the jumper-sheet that
- came with your computer's I/O board, and move the jumpers so that
- COM2 is disabled.
-
- 4. Run FaxModem Wizard and look for the following results:
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM2-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- COM3-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- COM4-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- 5. Get out the jumper-sheet that came with your modem and set your
- modem to COM2-IRQ3 and insert it into any vacant slot.
-
- 6. Run FaxModem Wizard to verify that it looks like this:
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM2-IRQ3:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM3-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- COM4-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- If you have a high performance modem, COM2-IRQ3 will look like this:
-
- COM2-IRQ3:
- FIFO UART (16550AN Chip) or Equivalent detected.
- This is a high performance UART with buffering.
-
- Method 2
-
- If COM2-IRQ3 is being used or you are unable to disable COM2, you can
- set your modem to COM3-IRQ7 or COM3-IRQ5. If you have a sound card,
- it may be using IRQ5. If this is the case, then you will have to use
- COM3-IRQ7. Thus FaxModem Wizard will look like this.
-
- COM1-IRQ4:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM2-IRQ3:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM3-IRQ7:
- UART (16450 Chip) or Equivalent detected.
-
- COM4-IRQ*:
- No UART/COM/Modem/Serial Port detected.
-
- BEFORE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
- Windows only:
- If you are going to be using FaxMail for Windows in Windows only, you
- might try the "FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class Fax/Modem-Driver"
- first.
-
- DOS and Windows:
- If, while installing FaxMail for Windows you find that your Fax/Modem
- is not listed, it is possible that one of the selections will work.
- For instance, DoveFax Class 1 and Practical Peripherals Class 1 works
- with many other class 1 Fax/Modems. The {"Universal, Rockwell, Class
- 2"} will work with nearly all of the Fax/Modems derived from the
- "Rockwell Class 2 Accelerator Kit". Generic Class 2, Zoom Class 2,
- ZyXEL Class 2, and Dallas Class 2 Fax/Modem-Drivers are all Class 2
- Fax/Modem-Drivers. There are a lot of "Class 2" variations, so, if
- your "Class 2" board does not work with one, it may work with another.
- The
-
- "Universal, Hayes, Rockwell, Class 1",
- "Universal, Rockwell, Class 1", and the
- "Universal, Rockwell, Class 2"
-
- Fax/Modem-Drivers are designed to do the job if all else fails. It
- should not always be the first choice because even though it is more
- versatile, it may not perform as well as the one recommended by us.
- Depending on your computer, another Fax/Modem-Driver may work better
- than our recommended one though. Sometimes, depending on your
- computer, COM-Port (FIFO(16550) or not), the
- "Universal, Hayes, Rockwell, Class 1",
- "Universal, Rockwell, Class 1",
- - or -
- "Universal, Rockwell, Class 2"
- may outperform the recommended Fax/Modem-Driver. By The Way, these 2
- Fax/Modem-Drivers support FIFO operation.
-
- If your Fax/Modem is not listed, look for an alternate
- Fax/Modem-Driver. An Internal Fax/Modem-Driver can be used to drive an
- External Fax/Modem, and an External Fax/Modem-Driver can be used to
- drive an Internal Fax/Modem. The name is not important. For instance,
- the AT&T class 1 will work on many other class 1 Fax/Modems. Choosing
- the wrong Fax/Modem-Driver will not harm Anything.
-
- The files in this package are modified to your specifications during
- installation and *WILL NOT* work properly if simply copied into your
- working directory. You *MUST* use the INSTALL.EXE or configuration
- utilities to add or change anything.

-
- SHAREWARE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
- Make a directory called FM_SHARE, like this:
- C:
- CD \
- MD FM_SHARE
- CD FM_SHARE
-
- UnZIP(PKUNZIP.EXE Version 2.04g or higher) * into FM_SHARE
- directory, like this:
- Copy FaxMail into FM_SHARE
- PKUNZIP * /O
- and then type:
- START and press <Enter>
- -or-
- Go into Windows and run the FaxMail for Windows INSTALL.EXE using the
- Windows RUN command.
-
- AFTER SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
- After installation, you will have several icons in the FaxMail for
- Windows Group. Please note the following icons:
- Manual (MANUAL.WRI)
- Read Me (README.WRI)
- Q and A (Q_A.WRI)
- FaxMail Tutor (FM_TUTOR.WRI)
- FaxMail Help (FM_HELP.HLP)
- These should be read before using FaxMail for Windows. There is also
- "Contact-Sensitive Help" buttons, throughout FaxMail for Windows, for
- your convenience.
-
- Everything is explained thoroughly in the FaxMail for Windows help
- system, which may be called upon from anywhere in FaxMail for Windows.
-
- If you want to use FaxMail for Windows from within any Windows
- Application and/or take advantage of *ALL* the power FaxMail for
- Windows has, load the "Control" program that you will find in the
- FaxMail for Windows Group before loading any other Windows Applications.
-
- After the Control program is loaded, click on the System button (the
- small square button at the top left corner of all windows) and choose
- SetUp and configure things *YOUR WAY*. I suggest that if you are not
- sure of something, leave the defaults set as it came to you. Make a
- printout of the defaults in case you change something you do not
- understand yet.
-
- Note:
- If the Fax/Modem-Driver does not load at when you turn on your computer
- it could be because FaxMail for Windows installs its Fax/Modem-Driver
- at the top of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and other drivers can cancel
- it out. If this happens to you, move the Fax/Modem-Driver command:
- LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
- to a spot just before the Windows load command.
-
- HELPFUL HINTS:
- "Silent Answer"
- Silent Answer requires the support and cooperation of the remote
- sending Fax/Modem/Machine with your receiving Fax/Modem. If the
- sending Fax/Modem/Machine does not support "Silent Answer" by sending
- the "CNG" tone, you will lose that Fax! Please read *all* of this area
- before using "Silent Answer". If you still want "Silent Answer", here
- is what it does and how to implement it.
-
- Silent answer let one telephone line be used for two purposes;
- receiving FAXes with the Fax/Modem, and receiving voice calls with an
- answering machine or telephone. When set to this mode, the Fax/Modem
- lets your answering machine answer all incoming calls. If it detects
- Fax "CNG" tones, it routes the call to FaxMail for Windows. Otherwise,
- it just sits silently on the phone line while you or your answering
- machine takes the call.
-
- When the phone rings and after the second ring the Fax/Modem will start
- monitoring the telephone line. If it detects a Fax tone, it will
- receive the Fax. If it does not detects a fax tone, it will do nothing.
-
- Silent Answer hardware installation
- When installing the Fax/Modem, DO NOT plug the answering machine into
- the telephone jack on the back of the Fax/Modem. Instead, do one of
- the following:
-
- a. Plug the answering machine and Fax/Modem into different wall jack
- (i.e. jacks in different rooms).
-
- b. Plug the answering machine into a wall jack and the Fax/Modem into
- the answering machine.
-
-
- c. If your answering machine has some kind of phone-jack switching;
- use this method. You must locate the two devices on separate
- extensions to make silent answer work correctly. This means you
- can not plug the answering machine into the Fax/Modem or vise
- versa. You can split a single extension with a duplex jack
- adapter. Radio Shack commonly carries these, part number 279-357
- for $4.49.
-
- Also, if you have an older answering machine that does NOT
- automatically turn itself off when it detects that a person or the
- Fax/Modem has answered the call, you need a $7.95 adapter from
- Radio Shack, part#43-107. This adapter disconnects the answering
- machine from the phone line when the call is answered. It goes
- between the answering machine and the wall jack.
-
- Note:
- The device that is picking up the line initially, must answer
- after, and not before, the second ring. This means you should
- set it to 3 for best results. If no other device picks up the
- line by the time the number of rings that FaxMail for Windows
- is set to is reached, FaxMail for Windows will answer it and
- process a Fax.
-
- To activate Silent Answer
- Load the FaxMail for Windows "Control" program and click on the
- <System> Button, <Setup> Button and on the Silent Answer <Check>
- Button. Set the number of rings until we answer to four and set your
- answering-machine to three rings. If the Silent Answer <Check> Button
- is inactive and gray, your Fax/Modem does not support Silent Answer.
-
-
- How to enable auto-load (registered version only)
-
- When you boot-up, you have a choice as to whether you want to load the
- FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver or not. If you plan to always
- load the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver, you can place y or Y
- behind the Fax/Modem-Driver. Here are two examples:
-
- examples #1 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
- LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
- will ask:
- Do you want to load the "FaxMail for Windows" Fax/Modem-Driver? (Y/N) Y
-
- examples #2 (First line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT)
- LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM Y
- The Y parameter will cause the Fax/Modem-Driver to load without
- asking. It will always load without stopping or asking.
-
- BBS and FAX on the same computer
-
- Method 1:
- Windows:
- There is an ICON, FAX vs BBS, in the FaxMail for Windows Group for the
- purpose of allowing you to control the Fax/Modem mode.
-
- -Before you call a BBS, double-click the <FAX vs BBS> ICON and choose:
- <Set Fax/Modem to BBS-Mode>.
- -Load your BBS-Software and log-onto the BBS.
- -After logging-off the BBS and exiting the BBS Software; to resume
- FAXing, double-click the <FAX vs BBS> ICON again and choose:
- <Set Fax/Modem to FAX-Mode> again.
-
- Method 2:
- DOS:
- Before you call a BBS, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:
-
- C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM
-
- Log-onto the BBS.
-
- To resume FAXing, go to the DOS Prompt, and type:
-
- C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM
-
- Method 3:
- Note:
- In these example; do not type the comments that appear to the
- right of the {.
-
- If you want to use the same computer for Fax and data-modem(BBS), it
- may be necessary to Disable the FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver
- while calling a BBS. To Disable FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver
- run: BBS-MODE.COM. Use FAX-MODE.COM to Enable the Fax/Modem-Driver
- again after you log-off the BBS. Here is an example of a Batch(.BAT)
- File that will do it all for you. Lets say that you are using a BBS
- program called Telemate, and it's name is TM.EXE. The following Batch
- File will Disable the "Fax/Modem-Driver" load "Telemate" and when you
- exit the BBS program (Telemate) it will "Enable" the Fax/Modem-Driver
- so you can resume FAXing. At the DOS Prompt:
-
- COPY CON T.BAT <Enter> {Create file(T.BAT)
- C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM <Enter> {1st line in file(T.BAT)
- PAUSE <Enter> {2nd line in file(T.BAT)
- CD\TELEMATE <Enter> {3rd line in file(T.BAT)
- TM.EXE <Enter> {4th line in file(T.BAT)
- C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM <Ctl+Z(or F6)> <Enter> {5th, and Save(T.BAT)
-
- - or -
- Using a text editor, create a file called T.BAT with the following 3
- lines:
-
- C:\FaxMail\BBS-MODE.COM {Set Fax/Modem to Data-Mode(BBS)
- PAUSE {Pause to let Fax/Modem catch up(4 sec or more)
- CD\TELEMATE {Change Directory to BBS Software
- TM.EXE {Load BBS Software
- C:\FaxMail\FAX-MODE.COM {Set Fax/Modem to Fax-Mode(FaxMail)
-
- The above example assumes that your FaxMail Directory is FAXMAIL and
- your Telemate Directory is TELEMATE.
-
- Now when you want to call a BBS you type:
-
- T <Enter>
-
-
- Method 4:
- To remove FaxMail for Windows Fax/Modem-Driver, type "rem " in front of
- this line, in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- rem LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
-
- ....and RE-BOOT.
-
- To restore back to "FaxMail for Windows", reactivate the line, in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- LH C:\FAXMAIL\FM_ROCK2.COM
-
- ....and RE-BOOT.
-
- Note:
- In some cases, to reset your modem to data mode, you may have to
- manually reset the modem (if it's external) or turn the PC off and
- then back on (for internal modems that don't reset any other way).
-
- KNOWN TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH:
- The: "FaxMail for Windows Dynamic All Class Fax/Modem-Driver" has been

-
- - unknown -
- Please let me know if FaxMail for Windows does not work properly with
- your Fax/Modem. The next version (revision) will probably include
- support for *YOUR* Fax/Modem.
-
- WINDOWS NT:
-
- Adding "FaxMail NT Convert to Fax" to Windows NT:
-
- 1. After installing FaxMail for Windows, re-boot the computer, go to
- <Main> group and select <Print Manager>.
-
- 2. From the "Print Manager" select <Printer>, <Create Printer>.
-
- 3. Fill out the information in the dialog box EXACTLY as follows.
- Where the C: in C:\TOFAX is the drive letter of your HardDrive
- where you installed FaxMail. If you installed on D: you will
- select D:\TOFAX from the drop-down list box.
-
- Notes:
- o If you can now find "FaxMail NT Convert to Fax" in the Driver
- drop-down list box it is probably because PRINTER.INF is locked
- or Read-Only. If this is the case, you will have to unlock it
- and use the FaxMail for Windows [Change Fax/Modem Driver] ICON
- to reinstall.

-
- 4. Select OK.
-
- 5. You will be asked for the Windows NT floppies or CD-ROM. NT
- expects to find FM_PN_NT.DLL on your floppies or CD-ROM, but it
- will not be there because this driver only comes with FaxMail for
- Windows. The FaxMail installation has already put FM_PN_NT.DLL in
- place, so it is not necessary for NT to do so. For this reason you
- will get a "noncritical error" when NT can not find FM_PN_NT.DLL on
- your floppies or CD-ROM. When you are presented with a noncritical
- error, select <Ignore>. NT will ignore coping FM_PN_NT.DLL, but
- will copy the printer driver support files that it does have.
- During installation, FaxMail creates the following files:
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DRV
- If for some reason they are not there, copy them there from the
- unzipped files that came with FaxMail.
-
- Notes:
- o During the "FaxMail NT Convert to Fax" installation, in response to
- "noncritical errors", select <Ignore>.
-
- o The reason for this unorthodox installation is that NT expects to
- find the driver, FM_PN_NT.DLL, on your NT installation floppies or
- CD-ROM for the purpose of copping it. When NT can not find
- FM_PN_NT.DLL, it will display a "noncritical error". In response
- to this noncritical error you will respond <Ignore>. NT will
- continue and put the following printer driver support files on your
- HardDrive:
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\RASDD.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\RASDDUI.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\RASDD.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\RASDDUI.DLL
-
- o When you have successfully installed FaxMail NT Convert to Fax,
- there will be more than one copy of FM_PN_NT.DLL on your HardDrive.
- They will be in, at least, the following directories.
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- Do not delete any of them. NT needs them all. FaxMail will also
- put the following in your SYSTEM directory:
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- and
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DRV
-
- o When installing an upgraded version of FaxMail for Windows, check to
- be sure the following files are updated.
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\W32X86\1\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DLL
- \WINNT35\SYSTEM\FM_PN_NT.DRV
- You can find all instances of FM_PN_NT.DLL and FM_PN_NT.DRV by going
- to the DOS prompt and typing:
- C: {Or the drive where NT is.
- CD\ {Move to the root-directory.
- DIR FM_PN_NT.* /S /P {List directories containing FM_PN_NT.DLL,DRV.
-
