Setting Up an External Modem
Before you can use your external modem, you must give
Windows 95 the information it needs to communicate with your
modem successfully. This information includes the model number
and manufacturer of your modem. To set up your modem, follow
these steps:
1 Click the Start button, point to Settings and click Control
Panel.
Windows 95 displays the Control Panel.
2 Double-click the Add New Hardware icon.
Windows 95 opens the Add New Hardware Wizard.
3 Click Next.
The Add New Hardware Wizard asks if it should detect the
new hardware for you.
4 Click Yes and then click Next.
Windows 95 displays a message advising you to close all pro-
grams.
5 Once you have closed all other programs, click Next to con-
tinue.
Windows 95 scans your system for new hardware. If Windows
95 finds your external modem, skip to step10. If Windows 95
doesn't detect your external modem, click Next to manually
install the modem. Windows 95 then displays a list of hard-
ware types.
6 Select Modem and click Next.
The Install New Modem menu opens.
7 To manually install your modem, select Don't detect my
modem; I will select it from a list and then click Next.
