disk is in drive A. If you have an external or internal modem after
installing you modem go into your control panel and double click

directory (or similar).
First back up your existing MODEM.INF by renaming it to MODEM.OLD.
Then rename the appropriate file to MODEM.INF and put in place of
the old MODEM.INF file.
\MSMAIL\MS-MAIL.EXE
- Banksia modem descriptors in SCR & MDM format. Run the MS-MAIL
file and this will give you several driver files with SCR &
MDM extensions.

PCM288f & Pro series
MICROCOM.SCR & MDM will cover all Microcom models
PCM288F.SCR & MDM covers the PCM288f modem
PRO.SCR & MDM covers the Pro series modems
Place these drivers in your drivers directory, and you will get the
appropriate modem appear in your modem list.
Game tips :
In games such as Doom, Doom II, Need for Speed, Command and Conquer,
and the like, the biggest problem is data compression. The first
init string I would suggest you use is AT&F%C0S95=0W0 and if this
doesn't work try AT&F\N0S95=0W0 as an alternative. This will
usually suffice.
Final Note :
If you should find that you are using a program not covered by
this list of drivers, and you need to select a modem from a list,
try selecting a Generic class 1, Generic class 2 or a Hayes
modem. Many of our modems will operate with these modem selections.
If you have any queries about any of these drivers, or about possible drivers for other
programs, get in contact with us at Tech Support.
