Release Notes for Release 8 - 12/6/94
1. Two drivers are supplied with this release; a headset
driver and a speakerphone driver. The headset driver
has better Call Progress detection than the speakerphone
driver and can be used with a compatible headset plugged
into the speaker/mic jack on the back of the modem.
2. Debug output can be enabled by changing statements
to the SYSTEM.INI file. Change the following line
DebugLevel=0
to
DebugLevel=4
in the [MDRVWAVE], [MDRV0500], and [MDRV0501] sections.
Also, debug output from the TAPI driver can be controlled
by placing a DebugLevel=4 statement in the [Provider1]
section of the TELEPHON.INI file in the Windows directory.
Debug output can be captured using the DBWIN program.
NOTE: If you have debugging enabled, you might get
a "Can't write to device AUX" message when
Windows boots. This usually not a problem,
just click on "Cancel".
3. If a Full Install is selected, the Wave driver will be
installed as the first wave driver in the system. If the
system already has another sound card installed, it is
possible to install the wave driver as a second or third
driver. Select Custom Install and disable the "Update
SYSTEM.INI for Wave" section. You will need to manually
edit the SYSTEM.INI file to add the entry
waveN=MDRV050n.DRV
where N is a number from 1 to 9 indicating the Sierra wave
driver's position in the system. Note that the first
wave driver will be wave, the second wave1, etc.
