1. If you want to take advantage of modem features like Caller ID, Distinctive Ring, and voice features, download and install UNIMODV.EXE from Microsoft’s Web Page. The Read Me file for UNIMODEMV can be obtained at the following URL: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q140/3/23.asp Note: Due to constantly changing web pages, the above URL’s may possibly change. If you have problems bringing up either URL, or do not have internet access, you should contact Microsoft for further assistance. 2a. If you have any of the following models(product codes): 00117100 - 00117200 - 00117102 00117202 - 00178500 - 00178400 use USRSPV.INF. 2b. If you have any of these models: 00028200 - 00028201 - 00028202 00027900 - 00027800 - 00027701 use MDMUSRVI.INF. 3. Note: The file USRWAVE.INF is needed to install a model 1171 or 1172 Voice Modem in Windows 95. This file is ONLY for Voice Modems and allows the modem to be used as a Wave Device Player/Recorder. If you have a Sportster Vi with VoiceMail (models - 00027701, 00027800, 00027900, 00028200, 00028201 or 00028202), then the file USRWAVE.INF is not necessary. 4. Copy the downloaded file to the \WINDOWS\INF directory. In most cases this is a hidden directory so you may want accomplish this from a DOS Command Prompt. You can also change the Properties of Windows Explorer to show all files/directories. 5. Remove all modems from the Device Manager or Modem Control Panel. 6. From either a DOS Command Prompt or Windows Explorer, delete the following files from the \WINDOWS\INF directory: DRVIDX.BIN DRVDATA.BIN If the modem is a Plug and Play model, and in *PnP (plug and play) mode, simply restart Windows. The modem will automatically be detected and configured by Windows 95. 7. If the modem is in Legacy mode (non-PnP), then select the Add New Hardware option from the Windows Control Panel. It will then rebuild the INF Database and should automatically setup your modem. If your modem is not automatically detected, pick the appropriate model from the modem picklist. *PnP - Plug and Play support allows Windows 95 to automatically configure the resources (COM/IRQ) for the modem. If you are installing a Plug and Play internal Sportster, remove the jumpers from the modem. Non-PnP Sportsters will have to be jumpered to a COM and IRQ setting in order to be properly configured. The modem should now be properly set up for use with any Windows 95 - 32 bit TAPI Voice, Data or Fax application.Download Driver Pack
